Comprehensive amenities are found within a short level walk at St Marychurch 'village' with an array of banks, shops, Churches, medical centres and eateries to name but a few.  With the property also enviably positioned just a short stroll from the scenic Babbacombe Downs with the wooded hillside and renowned cliff railway leading down to the beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"We have owned the property since 1992, when we moved in and made it our very happy home. We specifically chose this location as it was close to our business, but also because we knew that it is so extremely convenient, with the comprehensive facilities of St Marychurch almost on the doorstep, the scenic Babbacombe Downs and beaches also easily accessible, all of which we have thoroughly enjoyed during our time here. The property has offered great flexibility, with us having enjoyed living on the spacious top floor, whilst being able to accommodate a close friend within the 'studio' to the ground floor. This has provided us both with extremely comfortable homes and also provided us with an income. We have now decided that the time is right for us to downsize and enable new owners to appreciate what our delightful home offers."
