Owners Insight

"i’ve owned this property for over 40 years. It began life as a stable that I bought to use as a store, then lovingly converted into a comfortable dwelling 22 years ago.

I’ve loved living here because it’s so close to Babbacombe Downs, with its beautiful coastal walks, as well as handy for local shops, the theatre, and the famous Hanbury’s Fish & Chip shop.

The neighbours are kind and considerate, and the setting is pleasantly quiet and peaceful without feeling remote.

I’m moving only to eliminate stairs as I get older, but will be staying local because I truly love the area."
