Set on the banks of the river in the heart of Totnes, this ground-floor apartment offers easy, peaceful riverside living with direct views and access to scenic walks. The open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area faces the water and benefits from a Juliet balcony, creating a bright social space for everyday living or low-maintenance entertaining. Two double bedrooms and brand-new carpets throughout make the layout well suited to downsizers or a couple wanting a lock-up-and-leave base.
Practical advantages include two allocated off-street parking spaces, a private ground-floor entrance, and a very long lease (963 years). The apartment is sold chain-free and comes with mains services and electric storage heating—simple to run for occasional occupancy but potentially costly for all-year heating. EPC Band D and average broadband speeds are appropriate for most buyers, while mobile signal is excellent.
Notable considerations are factual and important: the building sits in Flood Zone Level 3 (the seller has not experienced flooding during their ownership), and the area records higher crime levels—both warrant buyer enquiries and appropriate insurance checks. Service charge (£2,104pa) and small ground rent (£60pa for the two parking spaces) apply; these are typical for riverside conversions but should be budgeted for. The property is leasehold with communal retirement classification in the wider area, and electric storage heaters are the main heating source.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located riverside apartment offering immediate occupancy and strong lifestyle appeal for those prioritising central Totnes living, waterside views and low-maintenance accommodation. Buyers seeking a riverside base or a downsizer’s home will find this a compelling, move-in-ready option provided they factor in communal costs, flood risk, and heating type.
