Occupying a prime position this BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED SECOND/TOP FLOOR FLAT presents a lifestyle as much as a stylish home. Forming part of Sefton Court, a development of just nine individual properties, the property has been tastefully refurbished by our client to include upgraded kitchen and shower room, and gas central heating system. A particular attribute is permitted holiday letting, therefore ideally suited to both owner occupiers or an INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY.
Set in one of Torquay’s most sought-after locations, just a stones throw away from the picturesque Babbacombe Downs with shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe below. A wide selection of amenities and leisure activities are a matter of minutes from the property, including Babbacombe Theatre, Cary Parks, wide choice of shops, pubs and eateries, and the stunning Babbacombe Downs with the renowned funicular railway taking passengers down to Oddicombe Beach.
OWNER INSIGHT
"Sefton Court was bought initially as a holiday let investment and we enjoyed a high occupancy level being in the heart of Babbacombe and so close to the Downs and beaches. More latterly it has been home to our mum, but with her decision to move closer to us in Brixham it makes sense to invest on the other side of the bay. Sefton Court is a great development, professionally managed and the benefit of parking. We renovated the flat, upgrading the shower room, kitchen, and heating system so new owners will have little worries, and hopefully just enjoy the lifestyle."

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.
