4 bedroom terraced house for sale

This PERIOD TERRACED HOUSE stands in the heart of Babbacombe, arranged as TWO SELF CONTAINED FLATS presenting an opportunity for an ongoing rental investment with established tenants, buyer seeking a home and income, or extended family wishing to live together yet independent. Both flats provide comfortable two bedroom designs, with the ground floor enjoying the benefit of the rear courtyard garden and parking, and the first floor having useful loft storage rooms with potential to formally convert. The investment is being sold as a whole, although the properties hold separate legal titles.

The property stands virtually a pebble throw away from the picturesque Downs with the shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe below, accessed by either the winding wooded pathways or renowned Cliff Railway. The coastal fields of Walls Hill are equally accessible, perfect for the dog owner. A host of local amenities are on the doorstep including independent shops, Tesco Metro, Babbacombe Theatre and wide selection of pubs, restaurants and cafe's.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"I have owned the property since 2004 and purchased as a long term investment as a pension, and as that age seemed to have crept up on me quicker than I had hoped, the time has come to sell. Living in Torquay myself, Babbacombe is a very special part and one of the most desirable for so many reasons. Within a few minutes you have everything you could need from shops, parks, medical centre, the Downs, Babbacombe Theatre and beaches."
