Summary - HOMECOMBE HOUSE 24 ST ALBANS ROAD TORQUAY TQ1 3ND
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance one-bedroom with communal gardens and nearby attractions.
Purpose-built retirement flat for over-60s with house manager
A compact, purpose-built retirement flat in Homecombe House, a well-maintained development close to Babbacombe Downs. The one-bedroom layout is practical for single occupancy or a couple seeking a low-maintenance base with communal facilities and pleasant landscaped gardens. The scheme includes a house manager, residents’ lounge, launderette and a guest suite to support visiting family.
The apartment is modest in size (approximately 410 sq ft) and arranged in a traditional layout with a good-sized bedroom and a main living room benefitting from natural light. Outside, attractive communal gardens and off-street parking provide easy outdoor access and visitor space. The location places cafes, restaurants and the theatre within walking distance, while mobile signal and broadband speeds are good.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and offered for retirement occupancy (over 60) with no onward chain. Heating is by electric storage heaters/room heaters (electric-fuelled), which can be more costly than gas alternatives. The décor is dated and will likely need updating to modern tastes; buyers should check service charges, the lease length and any communal fees before proceeding.
This flat will suit a downsizer looking for community living and convenience rather than expansive internal space. Its low-maintenance communal setting, nearby amenities and seaside location make it an attractive choice for someone prioritising ease and proximity to local attractions.
