OWNER INSIGHT “Having lived in Cyprus for a number of years when I decided to move back to the UK I chose to relocate to Torbay due to its mild climate and its scenery. Already having family living here also helped as they were able to direct me to the best districts of the town to live. Once I had visited Babbacombe I knew that it was the right location for me, an established and highly regarded setting with a selection of location shops at hand, lovely walks close by and the beautiful Babbacombe Downs, with beaches of Babbacombe & Oddicombe within a short walk.

I have enjoyed 13 very happy years living here but now feel that the time is right for me to have a change, although will not be moving very far as the area still holds a lot of benefits for me which I use and enjoy on a daily basis and I know will also be an attraction to any new owners.”
