2 Bedroom Flat For Sale, Babbacombe, Torquay

Lavender House is a small, select development of just four homes standing in an enviable position backing on to Walls Hill and just a short stroll from the scenic Babbacombe Downs and local shops.  This particular APARTMENT occupies almost the whole of the middle floor of the PERIOD PROPERTY, converted in 2001, and benefits from two entrances.  The apartment enjoys deceptively spacious accommodation with TWO BEDROOMS, a well proportioned sitting room and a particular feature being the generous Kitchen/Breakfast Room.  To the rear of the development the apartment benefits from allocated parking.

The property stands in the popular district of Babbacombe, within close proximity of a selection of shops, restaurants and local Church as well as being easily accessible to the picturesque Babbacombe Downs, Babbacombe and Oddicombe Beaches and Cary Parks with tennis and bowls clubs. Pleasant walks can be enjoyed nearby to the coastal fields of Walls Hill, Ansteys Cove and through the scenic Ilsham Valley to Meadfoot Beach.

OWNER INSIGHT “Lavender House was my son’s home for approximately 3 years, during which time I know he was content and happy as he found it so convenient in many ways; shops, buses to Torquay and Babbacombe/St Marychurch, and of course the lovely nearby Babbacombe Downs and Walls Hill. He was also extremely grateful to have such good neighbours.”
