Owner Insight

"I moved to Devon just 18 months ago, for a peaceful and happy life by the sea. Babbacombe did not disappoint!

Reddenhill Road is a beautiful community of the most lovely neighbours, friendly cafes, fabulous independent traders and convenience stores, that all work together to make the beautiful community that it is, and the stunning Babbacombe Downs and coast line, a five minute walk literally at the end of the road!

I adore No.74, I have poured a lot of love and hard work into making it a beautiful home. But sadly the pull of my grandchildren is just far too great, and reluctantly I will be returning to Berkshire.

Babbacombe, I will miss you, but I wish whoever enjoys you next, the very best happy life...enjoy!"
