About this home
For any Viewings, Please Quote JK1243 - Coastal Living at its Finest: A Bright Top-Floor Haven in Babbacombe Perched on the top floor and easily accessible via lift or stairs, the apartment feels private, quiet, and wonderfully bright. The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area. It’s a space designed for modern living, flooded with natural light thanks to two double-glazed sash windows and two Velux windows that give the room a classic, elegant feel. The kitchen is a dream for those who love to cook without the clutter. It’s fully equipped with integrated appliances—including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, gas hob, and electric oven—so everything has its place. There’s even plenty of room for a four-seater dining table. We all know that storage is king in apartment living, and this one doesn’t disappoint. A large walk-in storage cupboard doubles as a dedicated utility area, keeping your washing machine and dryer tucked away out of sight. The bedroom is a generous double with built-in wardrobes, and the shower room is modern and sleek, featuring a spacious walk-in shower. The location is truly hard to beat. Within a few moments’ stroll, you’ll find yourself on the famous Babbacombe Downs, overlooking the sea. Whether you’re heading down to Oddicombe Beach for a dip or popping into the local independent shops, butchers, and bakers, everything you need is right here. The area is also famous for its fantastic eateries, so you’ll never be short of a spot for dinner. With allocated parking, beautifully maintained communal gardens, this is a stress-free property. Whether you’re looking for a stylish first home, a coastal retreat, or a solid investment, this Babbacombe apartment is a must-see.
