Owner Insight

"When we viewed Savile House 9 years ago we saw fantastic potential for it to become a lovely, cosy, charming and comfortable property. Having comprehensively refurbished the property throughout we have completed the picture and made it our own unique home.

Being situated on the Warberries and edge of Wellswood we have found it to be perfect for a lovely stroll along the tree lined Babbacombe Road down to the harbourside restaurants. With Wellswood shops just a stone's throw away and the Kents local village pub with a great community spirit it will be sad to leave, though we are looking forward to our new adventure travelling Europe in our motorhome."
