OWNER INSIGHT

"It has been ten years since we moved to this home. The startling first impression of the most amazing view of Lyme Bay has remained and still has the ability to stop me in my tracks. I still take photos often of the enormous ocean and skyscape. Walls Hill is in the foreground, there is woodland at the end of the road and a five minute stroll to a bench with this most beautiful scene. Babbacombe, St Marychurch and Wellswood are all close by and this feels like a little pocket of tranquility away from the busy days of work. This home has been such a joy for all the family. It is a quiet friendly place to be but it is now time to move somewhere smaller for me and I will miss the lovely people and the home itself with its large, light rooms."
