House For Sale £350,000
Description This period terraced house affords deceptive accommodation which is beautifully presented, complemented by an attractive rear garden and double parking bay with potential to construct a garage (subject to required permissions). The picturesque Walls Hill is positioned behind the house, covering acres of coastal fields, home to Babbacombe Cricket Club, and access onto the scenic South Devon coast paths to nearby Babbacombe Bay, Ansteys Cove, and beyond.
The property presents a lifestyle as much as a beautiful home. A wide selection of amenities and leisure activities are a matter of minutes from the property, including Babbacombe Theatre, Cary Parks, wide choice of shops, pubs and eateries, and the stunning Babbacombe Downs with renowned funicular railway taking passengers between Oddicombe Beach.
Owner's insight "We have enjoyed eleven wonderful years here, having bought the house through John Lake's. For those that know Torquay well, this is a magical part of our bay, with literally all you could need virtually on the doorstep. A leisurely walk out the back takes us onto Walls Hill, a dog owners dream, and if feeling energetic you can follow the South West Coast Path for miles in either direction, or simply drop down to Babbacombe Beach by the Cricket Club.
Our neighbours are lovely, and although we all front onto the Babbacombe Road, it is generally a really peaceful location. It can feel like you're in a world of your own in the back garden, which enjoys a high degree of sunshine.
It took a long time to make the decision, but ultimately the draw to be nearer to family in Bath is too great, and sadly we can't move the house!"
