A bright, chain-free ground-floor flat in the heart of St Marychurch, set within a handsome Victorian terrace and walking distance to Babbacombe Downs, shops and buses. The one-bedroom layout includes a sitting room with high ceilings, a dining/office area, fitted kitchen and shower room. The flat has a private entrance, designated hardstand parking and a small gravelled front area.
The property was refurbished in 2022 and is presented in tidy, neutral order, making it ready to move into or let immediately. Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, a long lease (999 years from 2001, share of freehold) and low council tax (Band B). Parking is a real plus: the rear hardstand provides designated space and an area to dry clothes.
Notable considerations: the building is a pre-1900 sandstone/limestone terrace and external wall insulation is not recorded, which may affect heat retention (EPC D, 61). Holiday letting is prohibited and a no-pets clause applies. Service costs are shared 50/50 and payable as required. The surrounding area scores as very deprived in some metrics — useful context for owner-occupiers and investors assessing rental demand and local services.
This flat will suit a range of buyers: a first-time buyer wanting low-maintenance town living, a downsizer seeking single-level access close to local amenities, or an investor looking for a straightforward rental in a desirable village precinct. The property’s combination of location, parking and long lease provides authentic value, while the EPC and traditional wall construction point to straightforward energy-improvement potential.
