Converted within a period terraced property in sought after Babbacombe, this FIRST FLOOR FLAT has been a loved home to our client circa seventeen years, presenting a perfect first time purchase, investment, or pier de terre. Presented in clean and tidy order, the flat benefits from private garage storage, although restricted rear service lane access, whilst the building has also benefitted from a replacement slate roof.

Conveniently placed, the flat stands close to the comprehensive amenities of Babbacombe including Cary Parks, shops, theatre, and picturesque Babbacombe Downs with shingle beaches below, served by the renowned funicular railway or winding wooded pathways.


EPC Rating: E

OWNERS INSIGHT

"I bought the flat back in 2007 for my first home, and it has been a great place to live for seventeen years. I think Babbacombe is a very special place to live for all the obvious reasons, beaches, shops, cafe's, and award winning fish and chips to name a few, but for me a bonus is also being able to walk to my snooker club within a matter of minutes! I am selling with no onward chain, so the flat is ready to move into as quickly as a buyer can complete."

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
