2 bed 1 bath Flat
Ready-to-move coastal maisonette with parking and rental potential.
Bright living room with bay and large Velux in main bedroom
Modern fitted kitchen and recently redecorated throughout
Allocated off-street parking plus visitor spaces
496 sq ft; compact layout — small overall size
Leasehold: 89 years remaining (extension possible jointly)
Electric storage heating; likely higher running costs
Solid-brick construction; assumed no wall insulation
Slow local broadband; area scores high on deprivation
Well-presented two-bedroom maisonette arranged over two floors, offered ready to move into after recent redecoration. The bright living room and modern fitted kitchen make efficient use of the 496 sq ft footprint, while a large Velux in the main bedroom gives open views towards Torbay. Allocated off-street parking plus visitor spaces is a notable convenience in this location.
This apartment has a proven rental history (circa £950 pcm recently), making it suitable for first-time buyers wanting a low-maintenance home or investors/holiday-let owners seeking immediate income. The long lease (89 years remaining) provides security and the freeholder has indicated lease extension can be arranged jointly with other flats at legal cost only.
Buyers should note this is a small property with electric storage heating and double glazing; walls are solid brick and assumed to have no cavity insulation, so heating costs could be higher than a modern insulated building. Broadband speeds are slow locally and the area scores high on deprivation metrics — factors to weigh if working from home or prioritising local amenities. Council tax is very low, and there is no flooding risk.
Overall, this turnkey maisonette offers seaside-adjacent convenience, parking and rental potential, balanced by modest living space and running-cost considerations.
