EPC Rating: D

SELLER'S INSIGHT

"Owls Nest has been an enjoyable home purchased eight years ago through John Lake. The property has offered a pleasant lifestyle, provided the comfort of a small community yet with the independence of a cottage having its own private entrance and garden areas. From the rear of the property, on clear day are distant views of Dartmoor. A short walk away are the picturesque coastal heights of Babbacombe Downs and being so close to St Marychurch shopping precinct is a distinct asset. The property is bright and airy, the high ceiling add character for a modern style property with only two owners since 2003. I'm sure the next owner will find Owls Nest as much an enjoyable home."

OUR AREA

St Marychurch is one of Torquay’s most desirable districts, with its bustling ‘village’ ambience where a host of shops, cafes and restaurants can be found. The famous Model Village and the stunning Babbacombe Downs with funicular railway taking passengers to and from the shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe are also close at hand. Torquay is nestled on the warm South Devon coast being one of three towns along with Paignton and Brixham which form the natural east facing harbour of Torbay, sheltered from the English Channel. Torbay's wide selection of stunning beaches, picturesque coastline, mild climate and recreational facilities reinforce why it has rightfully earned the renowned nickname of the English Riviera.
