Converted within a period terraced property in sought after Babbacombe, this FIRST FLOOR FLAT, presenting a perfect first time purchase, investment, or ideal retirement home. Presented in clean and tidy order, the flat benefits from private bike garage/storage, although restricted rear service lane access, whilst the building has also benefitted from a replacement slate roof.
Conveniently placed, the flat stands close to the comprehensive amenities of Babbacombe including Cary Parks, shops, theatre, and picturesque Babbacombe Downs with shingle beaches below, served by the renowned funicular railway or winding wooded pathways.
OWNERS INSIGHT
"Despite living in our apartment for just over a year we have enjoyed the quiet location. The flat is a warm place to live in and we have only had to use the heater in the hallway which heats the whole apartment. We get on very well with our neighbours on either side and opposite. Unfortunately Long Covid has affected my wife's health so we have decided to move closer to her daughter. We have enjoyed walks to Cary Park and Babbacombe Downs and found the area to be a pleasant place to live."

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.
