This GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT forms part of a small, select development, set within a Grade II Listed building and enviably positioned just yards level walk to the amenities of St Marychurch and the lovely Cary Parks. The tastefully presented accommodation with lofty ceiling heights benefits from having a private outdoor space overlooking the beautifully maintained communal gardens.
St Marychurch 'village' is a bustling community with a wide selection of shops, a medical centre and post office, coffee and tea shops. All this is just around the corner from the property and within a short walk are found Torquay golf course, the scenic Babbacombe Downs and access to local beaches and the coastal footpath.
OWNER INSIGHT
“My mother purchased Flat 1 Berkshire Court just over 10 years ago, she needed to downsize from a four bedroom family home. As soon as she walked into the property she loved the high ceilings in the sitting room as it reminded her of her home that she was reluctant to move from. The terrace was a special feature for her, she could sit out and enjoy the lovely garden and surrounding area without the maintenance of a large home. The owners of Berkshire Court who form the management Company are all very caring and pleasant people which made it an even happier home for her, my mother has made some lovely friends whilst living there and it has been a sad time for her to leave. The location of the property was one of the main selling points for us, with St Marychurch precinct and Babbacombe downs just down the road. We hope the new owners will be happy there and enjoy the apartment and surrounding areas just as much as Mum has.“

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.
