OWNERS INSIGHT

"I purchased the bungalow in 2006 and successfully rented it out for several years before making it my own home in 2014. I have lived here happily ever since, but I now feel the time is right to move and downsize. Over the years, I have particularly enjoyed the beautiful views across Lyme Bay from my front windows, as well as the convenience of the location. Babbacombe Downs, Walls Hill and both Babbacombe and Oddicombe Beaches are all close by, while the frequent bus services provide easy access to Torquay and beyond. This has been a much-loved home for many years, and I hope the next owner will enjoy living here as much as I have."
