Nestled on the lower slopes of the Babbacombe hillside this SEMI-DETACHED BUNGALOW has been a much-loved home for our client and provides a spacious two double bedroom layout to the ground floor, with the extension to the first floor providing two sizeable loft rooms. Set on a sloping plot the bungalow enjoys tiered gardens to the front and rear, with a large, useful underhouse store, a garage (in need of repair) and parking to the rear complimenting the property.
Comprehensive amenities and leisure activities are afforded close at hand, with the nearby picturesque Babbacombe Downs boasting an array of cafe's, restaurants, and bars, Babbacombe Theatre, and the renowned Cliff Railway linking Oddicombe Beach below. The popular Cary Parks locally provide dog exercise spaces, designated children's play area, tennis and bowls clubs, whilst a wide selection of shops, Brunel Medical Centre, and Churches are all within comfortable walking distance.
OWNER INSIGHT
“Having previously lived in Torquay, when I was looking to move I spent a lot of time studying the town considering the location of my next home and realised that Babbacombe is a lovely district offering me everything I was looking for. I found this bungalow, in a convenient yet quiet location, and it is a move I have never regretted over twenty years later. I have found the property to be extremely comfortable, with a good level of accommodation and still offering great potential to enable any new owner to enhance further to their own taste and style. The gardens are tiered and, as I am not a gardener, they have been mainly laid to patio for ease of maintenance although can be made more attractive for the gardening enthusiast! The property has been a very happy home for me for the last 25 years but reluctantly I now feel that the time is right for me to downsize, although I will definitely want to remain in the Babbacombe area due to the conveniences that the location offers me."

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.
