SITUATION & DESCRIPTION
GUIDE PRICE £395,000-£425,000
Babbacombe and St Marychurch are both extremely sought-after neighbourhoods in Torbay for some very good reasons. Whilst they enjoy all of the facilities that Torquay has to offer they still retain much of their own identity and independence. The property is ideally placed for level walks to Cary Park, where the amenities include tennis courts, bowling green and a child's play area with local shops. A good choice of schools are within walking distance, whilst the local beaches at Babbacombe and Oddicombe are accessed from the lovely nearby Babbacombe Downs from where fine marine views over Lyme Bay are enjoyed.
Torquay is one of three beautiful towns forming the sheltered Tor Bay and is renowned for the warm climate, clear bathing waters and clean air. The local beaches form a golden arc around the bay with shingle coves scattered nearby. The town provides a wonderful quality of life for its residents with excellent shopping, waterside restaurants, a theatre and bars. Internationally renowned water sports are held in the sheltered bay, with the marina providing excellent mooring facilities for luxury yachts and motor cruisers. The area provides many scenic walks along south Devon's coastal footpaths, with local golf courses also nearby.
Built in the 1800s, this hidden away terraced home with elevated views over Torquay boasts a wealth of character and space, comprising briefly of a separate sitting room and kitchen/diner, utility space, five double bedrooms, a family bathroom and shower room, driveway for multiple vehicles, sunny terrace, and private garden.
