Located near public transport links and local amenities, the property also offers easy access to nearby parks and walking routes. It is a part of an award-winning development, managed by First Port and built by McCarthy and Stone, that promotes independent living. The development also offers an on-site house manager, residents lounge, washing room and gated access to the private and beautifully managed 'Tessier Gardens'. Tessier Gardens is a delightful park situated between Babbacombe and St. Marychurch. In 1933 the gardens were gifted to the town by Mrs H A Tessier. A 'Sun temple' was constructed later the same year in recognition of Mrs Tessier's generosity. A scented garden for the blind was designed and planted in 1975 with the botanical names of the plants etched in Braille on copper plates.
In accordance with the covenants bestowed upon the council in 1933, children under the age of 18 are not permitted in the gardens.
The collection of plants in the garden has just been enhanced with the redesign of the entrance area to the gardens. We have also added further Tree Ferns to the Fernery area, as well as planting a shady border just down from the top shelter.
The gardens are superb and lend themselves to quiet contemplation and enjoyment of the tranquil setting.
