Set on the third floor in Exmouth’s sought-after Avenues, this large sea‑facing apartment offers generous, flexible accommodation and a private south‑facing balcony with far-reaching estuary and coastline views. The layout includes a 24'9" sitting/dining room, a modern kitchen/breakfast room, principal bedroom with en‑suite, two further bedrooms plus a study/bedroom four, utility and good built‑in storage. A lift serves the floor and the property is offered chain free.
Practical benefits include a double garage with extra parking in front, well‑kept communal gardens on the sunny side of the building, visitor parking and secure entry. The interior is presented in good decorative order with modern fitted kitchen appliances, underfloor heating in the main shower room and a recently replaced boiler (2024), so immediate expenditure should be limited.
Notable costs and tenure details are straightforward: long lease (excellent remaining term), share of freehold and an annual service charge of approximately £3,578 (paid in two instalments). Council Tax is band G and will be higher than average for running costs. The property occupies a peaceful, low‑crime area close to seafront, town centre amenities and local schools, making it well suited to downsizers or buyers seeking a comfortable coastal home with occasional holiday or rental potential.
While the apartment is in good condition, buyers should note it is a third‑floor residence (lift access yes) and communal living means adherence to service charge regimes and communal rules. There is some scope to modernise finishes to personal taste to add value, but major refurbishment does not appear necessary.
