This bright two-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits just moments from Exmouth seafront, town centre and the train station, offering easy, one-level living with private entrance and an allocated parking space. High ceilings and large windows give a sense of space inside its sensible 815 sq ft layout. The property has practical updates: a one-year-old boiler and roof repairs (including guttering) completed in 2024.
The layout suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a low-maintenance coastal base, with two double bedrooms, a modern shower room and an additional WC off the kitchen. A private paved yard provides outdoor space without garden upkeep. The apartment has a share of the freehold (four flats) and a below-average service charge of £720 per year covering insurance and maintenance; there is also a sinking fund (buyer to confirm exact balance).
Buyers should weigh clear drawbacks: the property lies in a high flood-risk zone and the local area scores as deprived with above-average crime — both important for insurance, running costs and long-term resale. The building’s cavity walls were constructed without insulation (assumed), so thermal upgrades may be needed to improve comfort and energy bills. Overall, this is a characterful Victorian flat with strong location benefits but some environmental and retrofit considerations.
