OWNERS INSIGHT
"We had Devonshire House built back in 1989 by Midas on the site of our hotel. We retained this ground floor flat as an investment, and always enjoyed a high occupancy level. We appreciate the flat is now showing age, and hopefully a blank canvass for the new owners to enhance to their own style. We are bias, but the location is exceptional. Babbacombe Downs is a mere saunter, and in either direction you have local shops, medical practices, Churches, cafe's and virtually every amenity covered which you may want day to day. For keen bowlers, tennis players, sailor's or golfers, you have a club within walking distance."
