Summary - Flat 7, 5 Brookdale Terrace EX7 9PF
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact coastal apartment ideal for holiday lets or rental income.
Panoramic seafront and promenade views
Top-floor one-bedroom flat with direct seafront outlook and an open-plan living area that maximises panoramic sea views. Located in the centre of Dawlish, it sits moments from the beach, railway station and local shops, offering strong short‑let and holiday demand potential. The apartment retains period character with high ceilings and bay-windowed exterior elevations, yet is compact at around 496 sq ft.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing, built-in bedroom wardrobe, eaves storage and a very long lease (988 years). The property is well placed for investors seeking a seaside holiday let or a second-home rental, where rental demand and visual amenity are the primary value drivers.
Material drawbacks are significant and should influence buying decisions: the building is in a high flood‑risk zone and the local area scores as deprived with above‑average crime. The flat is in a town‑centre terrace with no private outdoor space and will likely need some internal refurbishment to maximise returns. Tenure is leasehold, though the remaining term is very long.
Overall this is a compact seafront apartment that offers immediate coastal appeal and letting potential but also carries local social and environmental risks. Buyers should commission flood-risk advice, consider insurance implications, and allow budget for updating to secure the strongest rental yields.
