OWNER INSIGHT

“As soon as we saw that this house was for sale, we knew that we wanted to look at it because we knew that it was in a good location and had good sized rooms. We know Woodville Road because we have relatives that live there. On viewing, it felt comfortable and spacious and we knew that the neighbours were friendly and quiet. Ellacombe is a great location for schools, the town centre, Babbacombe, St Marychurch and Plainmoor. The only reason for putting the house back on the market is that we now need to be further up-country once we retire.”

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 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).

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
