SELLERS INSIGHT
"This beautiful house has certainly played an important role in my family's life. My mother has lived here for nearly forty years, raising three children and ten grandchildren in that time and we have lots of happy memories of being here. It has always been a warm, friendly, safe and nurturing home and was much loved by all of us. It is close to the wonderful parade of shops in St. Marychurch and it is within walking distance of Babbacombe Downs and the beach beyond. We will all miss this lovely home so much but it is now time to ring in the changes and welcome a new family with fresh ideas and a modern touch. I am sure it will bring as much happiness to its new owners as we have had in the many years we have enjoyed living here."
