This tidy two-bedroom mid-terraced house sits within a purpose-built over‑55s development in Honiton, offered chain free and held on freehold. The layout includes a ground-floor living/dining room with conservatory, a modern kitchen, ground-floor shower room, two first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom — a straightforward, low‑maintenance plan suited to downsizers wanting easy, single-level living areas and a small private garden.
Practical comforts include double glazing (installed after 2002), electric storage heaters and mains services. Connectivity is strong with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and the complex benefits from an onsite manager and communal alarm systems. The location is convenient: a short walk to Honiton town centre, shops, medical services, a community hospital and a mainline station with direct services to Exeter.
Important considerations are the annual service charge (approximately £2,703.32) covering communal maintenance and services, and electric storage heating rather than gas, which can mean higher running costs for some. The property footprint and garden are modest, and the EPC is D, so opportunities exist to improve energy efficiency. The wider area is classified as relatively deprived, and the local demographic is retirement-focused — good for community-minded downsizers but less suitable for buyers seeking vibrant mixed-age neighbourhoods.
Overall this is a practical, ready-to-live-in retirement home offering convenience, on-site support and low garden upkeep. It will especially suit buyers aged 55+ who prioritise town-centre access and community facilities, and who are comfortable with the stated service charge and electric heating arrangements.
