This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Manadon offers ready-to-move-in accommodation with practical, modern fittings and a pleasant communal setting. The open-plan lounge/diner opens via double doors to an outdoor patio; both bedrooms are doubles and one benefits from an en-suite. Allocated off-street parking and well-kept communal gardens add convenience and attractive outside space for a ground-floor flat.
The building is a purpose-built, early-2000s development with double glazing and gas central heating to radiators. The property footprint is a sensible size for a first home or rental: lounge/diner is the principal living area, with a compact fitted kitchen and a separate bathroom. Service charge is modest at £150pcm and the lease has about 105 years remaining — straightforward ownership for a leasehold flat.
Buyers should note a few significant costs and limitations: ground rent is high at £1,800 pa, which will affect running costs and mortgage or resale considerations. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and the kitchen is compact compared with the lounge. As with any leasehold purchase, additional legal and admin fees (lease packs etc.) may apply.
Overall, the property suits first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready apartment in a well-maintained development or investors looking for a stable rental in a popular Plymouth suburb. The combination of parking, communal gardens and a ground-floor patio gives practical appeal, provided purchasers factor the annual ground rent into their budgets.
