EPC Rating: D OWNER INSIGHT “Our home is the perfect location for popping to the shops in St Marychurch and Babbacombe, walking out on the downs to watch the sea or even better sailing on it! Since we’ve lived here we’ve improved and extended as our children grew to allow space for all of us. Being keen gardeners the garden (and the greenhouses) have enabled us to grow plenty and enjoy fresh produce. But the time has arrived when there is a little too much garden and space. We hope that our home can find new owner/s that love it as much as we have.” STEP INSIDE From the driveway four steps rising to double doors opening to the CONSERVATORY with door to the RECEPTION HALL with understairs cupboard.
