Summary - BABBACOMBE DOWNS COURT 8 BABBACOMBE ROAD TORQUAY TQ1 3TJ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact seaside one-bedroom with allocated parking and long lease.
Sea views from a first-floor apartment
This bright first-floor one-bedroom apartment in Babbacombe Downs Court offers a compact, coastal living opportunity with direct sea views and allocated off-street parking. The open-plan lounge and kitchen is naturally lit and ready to personalise, while the double bedroom and bathroom complete a straightforward, easy-to-manage layout.
Practical details strengthen the proposition: share of freehold with 949 years remaining, no ground rent, an annual service charge of £543.25 and Chain Free sale. The property has double glazing and electric night storage heating; broadband and mobile signals are reported as fast and excellent respectively, supporting modern connectivity.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important. Internal living space is limited and there is no private garden — outside space is a small paved forecourt only. The building sits near a busy roadside, which can mean traffic noise and constrained street parking for visitors. The area shows higher deprivation indices compared with some neighbouring wards. Lease terms include restrictions (holiday home rental and controls on pets) that may affect letting or ownership plans.
Overall, the flat suits a downsizer seeking low-maintenance coastal living or an investor targeting Torquay’s seaside demand, provided buyers accept limited external space, potential roadside noise, and the lease restrictions.
