This lower-ground, two-bedroom apartment at Castle Heights is a well-presented, low-hassle home suited to downsizers or those seeking a coastal base. The main bedroom has an ensuite and dressing area, while a 21'7" sitting/dining room opens onto a terrace with communal garden and sea views. The property is chain-free and set in established landscaped grounds within easy walking distance of Lynton’s shops and the South West Coast Path.
Practical running costs are straightforward: an approximate service charge of £2,000–£2,500 per year covers all exterior maintenance and communal upkeep, and there is a 1/33 share of the freehold with about 975 years remaining on the lease. The building dates from 2002, benefits from double glazing and an EPC rating of C. An allocated parking space and visitor parking sit close to the apartment entrance.
Buyers should note a few restrictions and characteristics that affect suitability. Holiday lets are prohibited, which limits short-term rental income. The property uses electric-fuelled heating via a boiler and radiators; while reliable, this can be more expensive than gas in some seasons. The apartment occupies the lower ground floor — it has a terrace and garden access but will receive less natural light than upper-floor flats for some aspects.
Overall this apartment offers a secure, low-maintenance coastal home with good communal amenities and long lease security. It will particularly suit downsizers or buyers seeking a comfortable, lock-up-and-leave base near Exmoor and the coast, or a buy-to-let for assured shorthold tenancy rather than holiday rental.
