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.

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."
