House For Sale £220,000
Description The period end of terrace house enviably stands a short distance from the pedestrianised shopping precinct, with view of the tower of St Mary's Church from the sunny rear garden. The property has been in the same ownership since 1970, well loved but priced to reflect modernisation now required, presenting an opportunity for those wishing to inject their own taste and style into a character home in the heart of St Marychurch.
At the top of the hill lies the comprehensive amenities of St Marychurch with wide choice of shops and eateries, whilst the scenic Babbacombe Downs with shingle beaches below is equally accessible. A host of schools are within a short walk, with Priory and St Margarets Primary's on the door step. Numerous leisure and sports clubs are close at hand, with Babbacombe Corinthian Sailing Club at the base of the pedestrian precinct, and Torquay Golf Club virtually a tee shot away.
Seller's insight "It is an emotional time selling the family home of over fifty years, our parents bought the house back in 1970 having moved the vast distance from next door! We appreciate it now needs refurbishment, but the location is excellent, garden a sunny orientation, and the house a blank canvass.
We feel very lucky to have been born and brought up in St Marychurch which seems to have retained a real community spirit, with the house giving our family a lifestyle as much as a home. Everything you could need is pretty much on the doorstep, and when we were children there was certainly no excuses for us being late to school, bearing in mind it was over the road."
