About this home
Set toward the head of the prestigious Petitor Road, this FINE DETACHED HOUSE is deceptive from the façade, arranged in a reverse level design overlooking the extensive garden and surrounding green swathe. The house currently presents a versatile and generous family home, although anyone wishing to create their own statement home, our clients previously secured planning permission to dramatically extend and alter the property with a new upper floor and rear extension.

Paxholme enjoys a southerly view toward the Babbacombe Downs where the renowned funicular railway carries passengers between Oddicombe Beach, equally a beautiful walk from Paxholme down the coast paths or winding wooded hillside. The vibrant pedestrianised shopping precinct of St Marychurch is a leisurely walk, retaining a ‘village’ ambience.
