OWNER INSIGHT

"Having lived in Torquay for a number of years we know the area very well and when we were looking to purchase an apartment we immediately decided that Babbacombe would be an ideal location to do so. When we started our search we saw the availability of this particular apartment and felt that it offered us everything that we wanted, a well proportioned property enjoying a bright southerly outlook across to Cary Park from the sitting room and main bedroom, and nestled in such a highly regarded location. Babbacombe is such a convenient place to live; almost everything that you could need on a day-to-day basis can be found here, and it is one of very few places in Torquay that this can be found almost on the level."
