Summary - STRATHEDEN COURT 49 MARKET STREET TORQUAY TQ1 3BY
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact one-bedroom with communal facilities and easy harbour access.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in central Torquay
A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in the heart of Torquay, close to the harbourside, shops and seafront. The building offers strong communal amenities including a resident lounge, house manager, laundry, guest suite, sun terrace and off-street parking. The compact layout suits a single occupant or couple seeking low-maintenance, central living with easy access to local services.
The interior is modest and will benefit from cosmetic updating; the living room is bright but small and the decor is dated. As a leasehold property within a larger purpose-built block, service charges and lease terms will apply and should be checked. Council tax is very low, which helps overall running costs.
Note the wider context: the property sits in an area classed as very deprived with higher local crime levels. For buyers prioritising security and community facilities, the managed communal environment and on-site house manager help mitigate these concerns. Investors should factor in the small size and retirement designation when assessing rental or resale potential.
Overall this is a practical, well-serviced central apartment offering straightforward town-centre retirement living and scope for improvement to increase comfort and appeal.
