Vendors comments - 
“I chose this property as my settling down forever home for so many reasons. The house has such a peaceful homely feel, well laid out being both economical and easy to maintain. Having convenient private parking for two vehicles right outside the garden gate within the secure York Villas parking area. The good sized garden has a raised decked sun trap patio area leading from the sitting room with a roll down canopy above. Useful outside electric supply and water tap. The location of this home couldn’t be more perfect with everything you need on your doorstep. The stunning Babbacombe Downs with a great selection of fine restaurants and tearooms, Oddicombe beach with far reaching views across Lyme Bay, the famous Cliff Railway, Babbacombe Theatre, The Model Village and Bygones all literally a few steps away. You can take a stroll to shops in every direction, to St Marychurch precinct with its traditional independent shops and cafes then quirky Reddenhill Road the other way. Or catch a bus from the nearby bus stops to get you around the English Rivera and beyond. The open top bus trip around the bay runs from the Downs in summer for an extra treat. It's so brilliant living here that my grown up family and granddaughter who live far away think so too, and now visit regularly at every opportunity. It's become their second home. I am now sadly running out of space, and although the loft is mostly boarded out with a useful ladder there is only so many times a nana can keep climbing up there to store toy prams, pianos and an increasingly growing collection of items each time another set of my beautiful visitors come to stay with me and enjoy the delights of Babbacombe. I simply need a bigger house, but it definitely can’t be too far from this area. It’s the only way I could ever give up this beloved home in this prestigious sought after location.  It truly is a hidden gem with a feel good factor. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. It’s like one long perfect holiday living here, whatever the season. Luckily I have now found another beautiful home within St.Marychurch which is vacant and suits my change in needs, and so a new chapter will begin.”
