About this property

Foxes Walk is a beautifully presented and spacious detached house, of distinctive style with its shutters and Mansard style roof, occupying an idyllic setting off Beach Road, within the cluster of houses above Babbacombe Beach and beneath the wooded hillside behind, benefiting from spectacular sea views towards Lyme Bay, the ‘Jurassic Coast’ and Portland Bill in the distance, as well as the picturesque coastline of Babbacombe Bay.<br />The long entrance drive leads into a parking and turning area in front of the house and, on the first floor, a door from the hall opens into the sitting room with double sided fireplace with woodburner, range of fitted bookcases and beautiful sea and coastal views. A wide opening leads into the spacious, open plan, kitchen/dining room with exposed boarded flooring, fitted kitchen and door into the sun room with French doors opening to the terraces.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In Torbay, 2026/27 bills run from £1,647 a year in band A to £4,941 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Torbay, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
