OWNER'S INSIGHT

"We moved here to fulfil a dream of living in Babbacombe. We love the character of an older house and being near the sea. Having no car now this area is ideal for local walks and to enjoy the shops and facilities of the village atmosphere of St Marychurch. We also make good use of the good bus services to local towns. We shall be sad to leave this home and the pretty garden we’ve created, but our age has caught up with us and our daughter wants us near her."
