This TOP CORNER APARTMENT occupies arguably one of the finest positions within an established purpose built development commanding wide open views over Torquay to the hills of Marldon and Dartmoor in the distance. The views are best enjoyed from the PRIVATE BALCONY, directly accessed from the generous principal room. The spacious two bedroom design is complemented externally with an allocated parking space, additional visitors parking provisions and communal gardens. Babbacombe is one of Torquay's most sought after locations, with the picturesque Babbacombe Downs easily accessible with shingle beaches below, accessed via the renowned funicular railway. A host of amenities and leisure activities are equally close at hand which include the Cary Parks with tennis and bowls clubs, shops, restaurants, medical centre and Church.
EPC Rating: D

OWNERS' INSIGHT

"We initially bought the apartment as a base close to our son in Torquay, and having fallen in love with the location we took the decision to move to Babbacombe permanently. Since taking ownership, we have carried out modernisation which has included the kitchen, and also extended the lease term. When viewing many potential apartments, this one ticked our boxes. The size, views, parking, and balcony were major factors, and coupled with the location close to the heart of Babbacombe it provided the lifestyle we sought."

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
