Owner Insight

"I purchased this flat by myself as my forever home four years ago as it was spacious, conveniently situated and in an established, highly regarded location. Due to a change in my personal situation, I am now looking to move on and purchase a property with my partner.

We hope to find somewhere as convenient, with Kingsbridge being only a minutes walk away from local supermarkets and a host of useful shops including chemists and post office in the nearby shopping parade as well as host of independent traders. Just around the corner is the local bus stop, not forgetting the lovely Babbacombe Downs being just a 15 minute level stroll away.

The property is in excellent condition in a quiet location and with lovely neighbours. I will be sorry to leave and hope that the new owner will love living here as much as we have!"
