Owls Nest is a charming COTTAGE STYLE MAISONETTE forming part of a small, select development, enviably positioned just a short level stroll from the vibrant St Marychurch 'village' precinct. A private courtyard and entrance open to the accommodation arranged in a traditional design over two floors, whilst outside is an allocated parking space and a further private garden to the rear.
St Marychurch boasts a vibrant pedestrianised shopping precinct and a host of additional amenities easily accessible including TSB Bank, Churches, Post Office, supermarkets, bus services, doctors' and dentist surgeries. The scenic Babbacombe Downs can be found within close proximity where the wooded hillside leads down to the shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe.
SELLER'S INSIGHT
"Owls Nest has been an enjoyable home purchased eight years ago through John Lake. The property has offered a pleasant lifestyle, provided the comfort of a small community yet with the independence of a cottage having its own private entrance and garden areas. From the rear of the property, on clear day are distant views of Dartmoor. A short walk away are the picturesque coastal heights of Babbacombe Downs and being so close to St Marychurch shopping precinct is a distinct asset. The property is bright and airy, the high ceiling add character for a modern style property with only two owners since 2003. I'm sure the next owner will find Owls Nest as much an enjoyable home."

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
