OWNER'S INSIGHT
"We moved here to fulfil a dream of living in Babbacombe. We love the character of an older house and being near the sea. Having no car now this area is ideal for local walks and to enjoy the shops and facilities of the village atmosphere of St Marychurch. We also make good use of the good bus services to local towns. We shall be sad to leave this home and the pretty garden we’ve created, but our age has caught up with us and our daughter wants us near her."

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.
