Secure first-floor retirement flat with panoramic harbour views and communal facilities..
First-floor retirement apartment with harbour and Tor Bay views
This first-floor retirement apartment sits within a well-maintained stucco block on Montpellier Road, a short walk from Torquay’s harbourside and town centre. The home offers open-plan living with an attractive harbour and Tor Bay outlook, two bedrooms and two bathrooms — a low-maintenance base for seaside living.
The development is specifically designed for older residents and includes an on-site manager, Careline lanyard alarm system, gated undercover parking, lift access and communal facilities such as a residents’ lounge/conservatory, laundry and landscaped gardens with seating positioned for the views. The flat’s lease has 111 years remaining, providing long lease security for most buyers.
Be clear about recurring costs and heating: the service charge is relatively high at £5,600 per year and heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be costly compared with communal or gas systems. There is no private garden and the property is leasehold, so communal maintenance and service arrangements are important considerations.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a secure, low‑maintenance retirement base with excellent coastal outlooks and easy access to town amenities. It is less suitable for buyers wanting private outdoor space, lower ongoing charges, or a home with modern central heating.
