This first-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment at Orcombe Court offers a compact, low-maintenance home for the over-55s. Located close to Littleham Cross shops and on the 57 bus route, it’s about 1.5 miles from Exmouth town centre, train station and seafront—convenient for local amenities and coastal walks.
The flat has a bright living/dining room, fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and a shower room with grab rails. The building is uPVC double glazed and heated by electric storage heaters; communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite, on-site house manager and well-kept gardens.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold with about 98 years remaining, is sold with no onward chain, and attracts a service charge of £1,569.28 every six months (includes water) plus ground rent of £260 every six months. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The apartment is well suited to buyers seeking an independent but supported retirement setting, but those concerned about running costs or future heating upgrades should factor in the electric heating and service charges.
