This top-floor Victorian flat delivers direct sea views across Lyme Bay from an open-plan living/kitchen area — a strong selling point for anyone wanting easy seaside access. Located in Dawlish town centre, the property is a short walk from the beach, railway station and local shops, cafés and pubs. The flat benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and generous bedroom proportions for a one‑bed property (approximately 651 sq ft).
The building retains period character with high ceilings and bay-window architecture, and the flat includes useful eaves and roof storage accessed via a large Velux. Its position and outlook make it well suited to first‑time buyers seeking a lifestyle purchase or landlords targeting holiday or long‑let tenants attracted to sea views and central convenience.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is leasehold, in an area classified as deprived with above‑average crime, and the location has a high flood risk — all relevant to insurance and financing. The communal access and top‑floor position mean stairs to reach the flat; there is nearby coastal construction which may affect views and noise during development.
While presented in generally good order with an EPC of C, the flat suits those prepared for period maintenance and occasional coastal exposure. For investors, rental demand is supported by the town centre and transport links but factor in higher insurance and potential flood mitigation costs. For owner‑occupiers, this is a compact seaside home offering character and convenience, provided the tenure and flood considerations fit your needs.
