This purpose-built first-floor flat sits in a quiet cul-de-sac in Paignton, offering a compact, well-presented home for a single occupant or couple. The open-plan lounge/diner, modern fitted kitchen and good storage (including loft space and cupboards) make efficient use of the 463 sq ft layout. Double glazing and a C-rated EPC help keep running costs reasonable.
Practical extras include an allocated off-street parking space and a very long lease (original 999-year lease with c.954 years remaining). There is no regular service charge and building insurance is handled separately, which reduces ongoing communal costs but means buyers should confirm arrangements and cover.
Considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, which may affect fuel costs and preferences. The flat is modest in size — best suited to a first-time buyer, downsizer or buy-to-let investor rather than a family needing multiple bedrooms. The wider area shows signs of deprivation, though local crime is low and key amenities and schools are within reach.
Chain-free and ready to view, this apartment offers an affordable, low-maintenance base in a popular residential pocket of Paignton, with clear potential for cosmetic updates to reflect personal taste.
