OWNERS' INSIGHT

"Ten years seem to have passed by swiftly and the house has been perfect for us as a family, with our children going through their primary school years and attending Babbacombe just around the corner. The location is what has kept us here for so long, and there is so much within a comfortable walk or short drive, beneficial with our dog being able to walk through woods, parks, or beaches within a few miles of the house. We are only moving to make one final upsize now our youngest will soon be heading to secondary school in September, and with both shortly attending the Grammar Schools it makes sense to move closer."
