Compact one-bedroom flat near shops and transport for easy everyday living.
Town-centre retirement apartment, low-maintenance layout
A compact, purpose-built retirement apartment in the heart of Torquay, suited to someone seeking low-maintenance, town-centre living. The flat offers a roomy reception room, one peaceful bedroom, fitted kitchen with white goods and a modern bathroom — all arranged on a small, efficient footprint ideal for single occupancy or a couple.
The building dates from the 1980s and benefits from communal landscaped gardens, double glazing (installed before 2002) and electric storage heating. Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and very low council tax (Band A), making running costs comparatively modest.
Important considerations are the leasehold tenure and the property's compact overall size (approximately 312 sq ft). The wider area records high deprivation and very high crime levels, which buyers should weigh against the convenience of shops, bus links and local amenities moments away.
This apartment suits downsizers who prioritise location, convenience and a low‑maintenance layout over generous internal space. It offers immediate move-in potential with scope for light updating to reflect personal taste.
