This first-floor apartment in Ridgeway Heights delivers genuine coastal outlooks and straightforward living for an investor or someone seeking a low-maintenance seaside base. The sitting/dining room opens onto a slim balcony with open views across the wooded hillside toward Tor Bay, while two double bedrooms both include built-in wardrobes.
The building offers lift and stair access, sheltered communal gardens, and communal heating/hot water supplied via a monitored boiler scheme. The property is currently let to a long-standing tenant who wishes to stay, so it suits a buy-to-let buyer; vacant possession can be arranged if required.
Buyers should note the lease length and ownership costs: the lease has about 77 years remaining and the annual service charge is £2,907.64, with a small ground rent of £30. Mortgage lenders can be cautious with shorter leases, so buyers should check lending criteria and factor service charge and communal heating contributions into running costs.
The location is a clear strength — easy access down to Torquay harbour, nearby beaches, scenic coastal walks and well-regarded primary and grammar schools. For those prioritising convenience and sea views over a large footprint, this apartment offers practical, comfortable accommodation with immediate rental potential or a compact coastal home.
