A bright, low-maintenance two-bedroom apartment in The Vinery, positioned for coastal views and easy access to Torquay town centre. The flat has been recently refreshed with a brand-new kitchen and new carpets, so it’s ready to move into or let with minimal immediate work. Large lounge with bay window frames attractive sea vistas, and a conservatory adds light and extra living space.
The development is purpose-built for older residents (60+), with a resident warden, an updated care line, guest suite and small-pet policy — features that suit downsizers seeking reassurance and community. Practical benefits include an allocated parking space in the communal garage and on-site laundry facilities, plus a communal roof terrace for panoramic coastal views.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold apartment with 111 years remaining and an above-average service charge (£5,600), reflecting communal services and facilities. Heating is by electric storage heaters and there is double glazing of unknown installation date. The local area records higher crime levels and is flagged as very deprived, which may affect long-term demand and insurance costs.
Overall, this apartment is a straightforward coastal retirement option: well-presented, with strong communal amenities and excellent sea views, but best suited to purchasers who accept leasehold ownership, the service charge level, and electric heating as part of the package.
