OWNERS INSIGHT

"We bought this property as we were looking to downsize and have thoroughly enjoyed our 8 years here. Babbacombe is a lovely area to live, with everything you need close by, including Babbacombe Downs, local shops and amenities, schools and convenient bus routes. The property is situated in a peaceful and quiet location, which has made it a very enjoyable place to call home. We have also appreciated that pets are allowed within the complex, which is a real benefit. Over the years, we have had lovely neighbours and have always found the community to be welcoming and friendly. We have been very happy living here and will be sorry to leave. The reason for selling is simply that we are now relocating making this the right time for us to move on and allow someone else to enjoy this lovely home and its surroundings."
