Show-home condition one-bed with parking, private garden and sea views — long lease.
South-facing reception room with panoramic sea and coastline views
A superbly presented ground-floor apartment set within a former Victorian villa, quietly positioned on Ferndale Road and taking in sea, coastal and rural views. The large south-facing reception room with bay window is a standout, flooding the space with light and framing vistas along the Babbacombe coastline. The flat combines original character (high ceilings, picture rails, feature fireplace) with a recent full refurbishment: a modern fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom and double glazing give immediate, low-effort living.
The layout works well for a downsizer or someone wanting a comfortable seaside base: one double bedroom with high-level storage, ample built-in cupboards and a practical entrance hall. Outside there is allocated off-street parking and a small private garden area, with access to mature communal grounds. Practical details that add security include mains gas central heating, an EPC rating of C, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Important practical facts are straightforward: the property is leasehold (962 years remaining) with an annual service charge of around £960 and very low council tax. The building dates from the 1930s–40s and has cavity walls assumed to lack added insulation, which could be considered if aiming to improve thermal performance further. There is no flood risk and local crime levels are very low.
Overall, this flat is offered in show-home condition and is ready to move into. It will particularly appeal to buyers seeking a low-maintenance, characterful home close to the sea, or purchasers looking for an attractively presented rental/holiday-let opportunity in an affluent, peaceful neighbourhood.
