Owner's Insight

"This flat was my first step onto the property ladder, and I remember instantly seeing its potential the moment I walked in. With lots of enthusiasm (and help from family), I refurbished it into a home i’m truly proud of. It’s been such a happy place to live and has given me the confidence to take on my next project.

As much as I love Bishops Court, life has moved on, my partner and I now have an energetic dog, so we’re looking for a home with a garden! We don’t want to go far though, as St Marychurch has so much to offer. The shops are incredibly convenient, there are beautiful walks and parks nearby, and i’ve loved having Plainmoor pool and both Oddicombe and Babbacombe beaches within easy reach.

I hope the next owner loves it as much as I have."
