This MODERN TOWN HOUSE forms part of a small, select development in the very heart of St Marychurch, just a stone's throw of the pedestrianised shopping precinct. Being deceptively spacious, the property features a sizeable sitting room/dining room with kitchen beyond, THREE BEDROOMS and shower room/WC. To the rear of the house there is a private paved roof terrace, as well as an enclosed, low maintenance courtyard garden. Directly opposite the property is private parking for two vehicles.

This lovely home offers a quiet setting combined with a most convenient location standing just a short, level saunter to the comprehensive amenities of St Marychurch with wide choice of shops and eateries, whilst the scenic Babbacombe Downs with shingle beaches below is equally accessible. Numerous leisure and sports clubs are close at hand, with Babbacombe Corinthian Sailing Club a matter of steps from the door, and Torquay Golf Club virtually a tee shot away.

SELLERS INSIGHT

"In 1992, when my mother decided that the garden of her former home was becoming too much for her, she decided that the time was right for her to downsize slightly, move to a property that was easy for her to manage and improve the quality of her life. Having been born and raised in Torquay she instantly knew that a move to St. Marychurch would offer her everything that she needed, an established setting with everything required on a daily basis on her doorstep. As soon as she viewed this property she knew that she had found her new home, not only was it a modern, easily managed house, it was set in a wonderfully convenient location for her, on the level and close to all amenities. Having the wide selection of shops, bank, post office, doctors surgery, as well as several regular bus services all within a short walk made her life so simple and she made lots of lovely friends in the immediate area too.
