Owners Insight

"When I first viewed the property, I immediately felt at peace. I truly believe it has brought me luck in life, and I wouldn’t be moving if I didn’t have to due to family circumstances.

It’s a beautiful, bright apartment with lovely views, and it’s incredibly convenient with Babbacombe Downs on the doorstep and all the local amenities anyone could need.

I hope the new owner can enjoy the property as much as I have."
