Bright harbourside two-bedroom with balcony — long lease and lift access close to Torquay marina.
Lift accessible first-floor apartment with private balcony
200-year lease provides long-term security
Service charge approximately £3,000 per year
Small ground rent £64 per year
Electric room heating; no central heating specified
Very slow local broadband speeds
Double glazed; modern en-suite and bathroom
Local area: very high crime and high deprivation
Positioned on Torquay’s harbourside, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment delivers bright open-plan living and a private balcony just steps from the marina, cafés and seafront. The layout suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance coastal base or a rental opportunity, with a principal bedroom benefitting from a modern en-suite and a secondary double bedroom. Lift access and communal secure entry add convenience for everyday living.
Practical running costs require attention: the property relies on electric room heaters rather than central heating, and broadband speeds in the area are very slow. Annual service charges are around £3,000 and a small ground rent of £64 applies. The 200-year lease provides long-term security, but the building’s mid-20th century construction and solid brick walls mean some buyers may want to budget for future maintenance or modernisation over time.
This apartment’s strengths are its harbourside location, double glazing, and a generously proportioned open-plan living area that opens to a balcony — ideal for entertaining or enjoying harbour views. It will appeal to first-time buyers wanting a central coastal home, or investors seeking a holiday-let style property (note: the lease restricts pets). Be mindful of the high local crime rate and area deprivation when considering long-term rental yields or family use.
