EPC Rating: D OWNERS' INSIGHT "Living at Littlecombe has truly been a privilege. It’s given us not just a beautiful home, but a wonderful lifestyle. We often have to pinch ourselves, being just a short stroll from the stunning Babbacombe Downs and the vibrant heart of St Marychurch, with its charming cafés, churches, boutique shops, and all the essentials like doctors and dentists right on the doorstep. We’re spoiled for choice with beautiful walks nearby, from the peaceful adults only Tessier Gardens to the breathtaking views across Oddicombe and Babbacombe Beaches. It’s a place that has given us a perfect balance of coastal beauty and community. Deciding to sell has been an emotional one for us, as this home holds wonderful memories. But it’s the right time for us to move on to a larger home where we can bring our extended family together under one roof. We’ll always treasure our time here, and we know the next owners will love it just as much as we have."
