Owners insight "Having owned the apartment from new our mother has enjoyed many happy years here at Maidencombe House. Now due to her advancing years the time is right for her to make a move and whilst it has been a real wrench for her to leave she has lots of happy memories that she will be taking with her. I know that any new owners will be very happy here and will be warmly welcomed by the lovely neighbours."
"With the apartment benefiting from a sizeable private terrace gaining sea views into Lyme Bay it has been lovely sitting out on this and enjoying the English Riviera sunshine whist also appreciating the beautifully tended gardens and swimming pool."
"The convenience was also paramount. Although Maidencombe House is on the outskirts of town, within ten minutes you can be at St Marychurch, The Willows shopping district or Shaldon. A bus stop is virtually outside the door if you don't want to drive. The Thatched Tavern or Orestone Manor are also close by for a drink, spot of lunch or evening out and you don't need a taxi".
