Owner's Insight

"I purchased the flat two years ago when moving to South Devon and soon fell in love with Babbacombe. Having viewed many properties, this one was an obvious choice, thanks to the private car port, secure workshop/store, and the beautiful open views. It has been a comfortable, low-maintenance home that I will be sad to leave, but I am now moving in with my partner and we need a little more space."
