Summary - 3 Sherwell Lane TQ2 6BH
1 bed 1 bath Studio
Chain-free Victorian ground flat with huge lease — ideal for first-time buyers.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat overlooking a park
A deceptively spacious one-bedroom ground floor flat set in a Victorian semi, overlooking a park in Sherwell Lane, Torquay. The open-plan living/kitchen/dining room and generous bedroom give the feel of a much larger home and the property has recently been redecorated throughout. It comes chain free and with an exceptionally long lease (963 years), which simplifies purchase for first-time buyers.
Practical comforts include double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for working from home. The flat is close to local shops, transport links and the seafront, and benefits from park views and nearby green space for outdoor leisure.
There are a few material points to note: the building is a pre-1900 construction with sandstone/limestone walls likely lacking cavity insulation, so heating costs and condensation risk should be checked. The local area records above-average crime and is classified as deprived; purchasers should consider security and local services. As a leasehold property, additional fees (leasehold packs, service charges) may apply and measurements should be independently verified before committing to expenditure.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented starter home or buy-to-let opportunity for buyers who prioritise space, location and low-stress purchase terms, while being mindful of older construction maintenance and local area issues.
