Set within the restored historic Flete House, this one-bedroom apartment combines period character with generous living space. The ground-floor sitting/dining room and first-floor bedroom both feature oak panelling, parquet and granite mullion windows framing wide countryside views across the estate’s 12 acres. At 1,117 sq ft (108.7 sq m) the apartment feels roomy for a single occupant or couple seeking a tranquil, elegant home.
Residents enjoy extensive shared facilities—drawing room, dining room, library, billiard room, tennis court, croquet lawn—and 24-hour on-site staff, making this an appealing lock-up-and-leave option for over-55s. Allocated off-street parking and well-maintained gardens add convenience; the apartment’s position near the side entrance also makes it one of the few where a dog is permitted.
Important practical points are straightforward: tenure is leasehold with 123 years remaining; central services are oil-fired and broadband is ADSL (slower than modern fibre). The annual combined service/utility charge is £18,132, covering communal heating, utilities, staffing and maintenance—this is a significant ongoing cost and there are additional resale fees (sales administration and reserve fund contributions).
This property suits an older buyer seeking character, security and communal amenities within a private country-estate setting, and who is comfortable with leasehold arrangements and substantial service charges. The setting offers easy access to countryside walks, nearby beaches and the towns of Modbury and Plymouth.
