Set back from the road behind a walled lawned garden, this PERIOD TERRACED HOUSE stands in the heart of Babbacombe, one of Torquay's most sought after districts. A loved home for our clients circa 38 years, the property is beautifully presented and features a large kitchen/dining room overlooking the rear courtyard garden with generous garage and parking space beyond. Comprehensive amenities and leisure activities are afforded close at hand, with the nearby picturesque Babbacombe Downs boasting an array of cafe's, restaurants, and bars, Babbacombe Theatre, and the renowned Cliff Railway linking Oddicombe Beach below. The popular Cary Parks locally provide dog exercise spaces, designated children's play area, tennis and bowls clubs, whilst a wide selection of shops, Brunel Medical Centre, and Churches are all within comfortable walking distance. The house provides a lifestyle as much as a beautiful home.

OWNERS' INSIGHT

"After 38 years it has been emotional to make the decision to downsize. We have made so many memories watching our children grow up in the house, and now grandchildren running around when they visit, and it is a really happy home. Living in Babbacombe for so long, we appreciate how lucky we are to have so much on our doorstep, from parks and beaches, to shops and restaurants. Many of our neighbours, like us, have lived in their homes for a long time and the houses rarely come for sale, which tells a story in itself that people don't often move once here. We are going to find it very hard when it comes to closing the door for the last time, and we hope the next people gain as much from the house as our family."
