Babbacombe, Torquay

Tastefully fusing the character of its period with many modern features this THREE BEDROOM HOUSE is enviably located in one of Torbay's most beautiful locations just a pebble's throw from the scenic Babbacombe Downs, from where panoramic sea views can be enjoyed across the beautiful Lyme Bay stretching from Teignmouth, Lyme Regis around to Portland Bill. The property has undergone a comprehensive program of remodelling and improvement, now offering well-proportioned reverse level accommodation, with the open plan principal living space enjoying SEA VIEWS into Lyme Bay, and complemented by a sunny enclosed, low maintenance courtyard garden.

Babbacombe offers excellent local shops, cafes and restaurants as does the popular St Marychurch precinct which is just a short level walk away, where there is a sailing club, medical centre and a Golf Course all easily accessible. Torquay town has a deep water harbour for Yachts and a selection of waterside restaurants and cafes. The well renowned Torquay Boys and Girls Grammar Schools are only a short journey away in nearby Shiphay.

OWNER INSIGHT

"We purchased this property as an investment, with the area having everything to hand, coastal walks, beaches, pubs and restaurants, travel access to all areas of Devon and so much more we saw it as an ideal holiday let. At the time of our purchase the property was in need of updating but we could certainly see the potential that it offered. We immediately took it back to ‘bares bones’, reconfigured the spaces, replaced the kitchen and bathrooms, rewired, installed a new heating system and then completely redecorated and floor finished were also replaced. Completing our vision and creating a wonderful home. Moving the living space from downstairs to upstairs gives the cottage a new lease of life, giving views across to Portland Bill on a sunny clear day. We have also found this to be a great spot to watch the New Year fireworks. To complete the package the enclosed rear terrace takes in the sun all day long and is a lovely quiet spot to relax."
