Owners Interview When we bought Wrenwood eight years ago, it was divided into two dated flats, but we immediately saw its potential and set out to restore it into the beautiful family home it was meant to be.

We hope we’ve done it justice! Living in Babbacombe has been a joy - the location offers a lifestyle that perfectly complements the house.

With our children now in secondary school, we’ve loved having so much nearby for all ages - excellent schools, parks, beaches, and leisure clubs all within walking distance.

We’ll truly miss Wrenwood, but hope the next family will love it just as much as we have.
