Summary - KINGSDALE COURT FLAT 13 ST LUKES ROAD NORTH TORQUAY TQ2 5YG
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Chain-free two-bed retirement flat with sea views, balcony and parking.
Sea-facing balcony with elevated views across Tor Bay
Set within Kingsdale Court, this chain-free two-bedroom retirement apartment offers elevated sea views and a private balcony, ideal for downsizers seeking coastal convenience. The accommodation includes a living room with balcony access, a contemporary U-shaped kitchen, two double bedrooms (principal with en-suite) and a second shower room — practical for visiting family or carers.
The development provides lift access, communal gardens and an allocated parking space, with good mobile signal and fast broadband for staying connected. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and benefits from double glazing; communal areas are maintained and the setting is a short stroll from Torquay harbour, shops and the coast.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with around 63 years remaining. This short lease length may prevent many mortgage lenders from offering loans, which could restrict buyers to cash purchasers or specialist lenders. Service charges are approximately £3,000 per year and ground rent is £100 annually — factor these ongoing costs into affordability.
The apartment uses electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating and appears to be system-built with assumed partial wall insulation; potential buyers should commission surveys where thermal efficiency or structural concerns are important. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with very high local crime levels, so prospective purchasers should visit at different times and check local safety and community services before committing.
