2 bed flat for sale

Babbacombe, Torquay TQ1

This first floor flat stands in the heart of Babbacombe, forming part of a converted period terraced house of just two individual homes set back from the road. The flat provides a spacious design affording two bedrooms and two reception rooms, equally versatile as a three bedroom arrangement.

The property stands a short saunter 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.

Owner's Insight

"I have owned the flat for twenty five years, also owning the ground floor flat and buying them both independently in 1999. Directly outside the property is unlimited parking for a few cars and more often than not I can park a few metres from the front gate. Babbacombe is very nice and the location remains a big attraction to many, with a short walk to the Downs with views of Lyme Bay."
