Babbacombe, Torquay

This PERIOD TERRACED HOUSE stands in the popular district of Babbacombe, arranged as TWO SELF CONTAINED FLATS presenting an opportunity for those seeking an established rental investment which has been in our clients ownership for circa 28 years. Both flats provide spacious designs, with the ground floor affording a one bedroom layout, and the top floor two bedrooms. Both flats benefit from access to the rear courtyard garden which has been divided to provide private spaces for each flat.

The property stands a short saunter from the picturesque Downs with the shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe below, accessed by either the winding wooded pathways or renowned Cliff Railway. The coastal fields of Walls Hill are equally accessible, perfect for the dog owner. A host of local amenities are on the doorstep including independent shops, Tesco Metro, Babbacombe Theatre and wide selection of pubs, restaurants and cafe's.

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"We bought the property through John Lake in 1998, and purchased as a long term investment. Babbacombe was a big attraction for us as we knew the location would always appeal to tenants for the lifestyle close to the Downs and beaches, which has always proven the case with a high level of occupancy. The time has now come to release the investment and enjoy our retirement."
