SELLERS INSIGHT

"The property has been owned by my family for approximately 65 years and so it has been a very difficult decision for me to make to sell. I have such fond memories of visiting the house all those years ago and those memories I will cherish forever. Having lived there myself for several years the building has a special meaning to me. Set on the level and close the shops and amenities in Plainmoor & St Marychurch we always found the location of the property to be so very convenient for us. A wide selection of shops are found within walking distance, as is s regular bus service. Scenic walks through the nearby Cary Parks, across to Babbacombe Downs are also enjoyed. Whilst the property now requires some improvement it offers such wonderful potential and is an ideal project for any prospective new owners."
