OWNERS INSIGHT

"I’ve really enjoyed living here for the past 12 years. I bought the flat because it perfectly suited my lifestyle, with an excellent location close to local amenities, including Babbacombe shops, Babbacombe Downs, St Marychurch, Plainmoor, and Cary Park. My workplace is just around the corner, and the flat has easy access from both the front and rear, with a secure gated entrance and its own allocated parking space. It’s also ideally located for travel, with convenient access to Teignmouth, Dawlish, Exeter, and Plymouth. It’s been a peaceful home, and I’ll be sad to leave as I’m relocating out of Torquay. It’s an ideal flat in a fantastic location—and best of all, no hills!"
