Compact ground-floor flat with parking, communal gardens and long lease — ideal for downsizers.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat with sea views
A compact ground-floor flat with sea peeps, allocated parking and communal gardens in central Torquay. The layout is efficient: entrance hallway, lounge, double bedroom, small kitchen and bathroom — suited to a single occupant or couple seeking easy, low-stairs living close to the seafront.
The property is leasehold with an exceptionally long lease (c.956 years) and modest ground rent. Note the service charge is shown as £2,020 (average) which may be high relative to the apartment’s small footprint; prospective buyers should check what is covered. Heating appears to rely on electric heaters — there is no central heating system present.
Internally the flat is small (approx. 334 sq ft) and presented in a modern mid‑20th‑century block with double glazing. The kitchen and bathroom are practical but compact, offering scope for light updating rather than full refurbishment. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, which may matter for home-workers.
This flat will suit someone downsizing, seeking a low‑maintenance, ground‑floor home with sea views and parking, or an investor targeting the local rental market. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and check communal maintenance arrangements and utilities before committing.
