A compact one-bedroom retirement apartment in the heart of Torquay, set within a secure purpose-built block with communal lounge and a roof terrace. The flat faces Ellacombe Park, bringing pleasant outlook and natural light to both the lounge and bedroom. Offered with no onward chain, this is a straightforward move for someone seeking low-maintenance, town-centre living.
The accommodation is small and dated in places: the kitchen and bathroom show 1980s fittings and would benefit from cosmetic updating to suit modern tastes. Heating is by electric storage and room heaters. There is no private outdoor space or allocated parking; the plot sits directly onto the pavement with kerbside parking only.
Important purchaser notes: the lease currently has approximately 59 years remaining and ground rent is £200 per year. This relatively short lease may restrict mortgage options — some lenders can refuse mortgages on leases of this length. The building is in an area with higher-than-average crime and significant local deprivation; buyers should satisfy themselves on safety and local services.
For the right buyer — a single retiree or couple wanting a central, social retirement setting — the apartment offers convenience: shops, restaurants, transport and the seafront are all within easy reach, plus excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The asking price reflects the size and work required and could appeal to downsizers or investors prepared for a cash purchase or lease extension work.
