A well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor apartment on Chelston Road, offering spacious living and practical outdoor space in a quiet, affluent pocket of Torquay. The large reception room opens via French doors to a sunny private courtyard garden, extending the living area in warmer months. The apartment includes two bathrooms, a separate study and a utility room — useful flexibility for home working and storage.
The property is chain free and comes with an allocated parking space and a covered external storage area. The long lease (986 years), nominal ground rent and below-average service charge (£528) make ownership straightforward and cost-predictable. Full fibre (FTTP) is listed as available at the address, supporting remote work or streaming needs.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the building is older (pre-1900) with assumed cavity walls and no insulation, so buyers may wish to budget for energy-efficiency improvements. Local measured broadband speeds are reported as very slow despite FTTP availability — check providers and on-site performance before committing. Access requires a short sloping path and one step, which may affect mobility needs.
This apartment will suit downsizers or first-time buyers who want a ready-to-live-in home with useful extras (study, utility, garden) and low ongoing costs. There is clear scope to personalise built-in storage in the bedroom and to improve thermal performance over time, unlocking comfort and potential value uplift.
