Compact retirement flat with balcony and communal gardens, close to Sidmouth town centre..
Second-floor flat with lift access and private balcony
A bright, compact second-floor apartment designed for over-55s, positioned close to Sidmouth’s town centre and seafront amenities. The open-plan living/bedroom opens onto a private balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens — an easy spot for morning sun and a cup of tea. A lift serves the floor, so access is straightforward even with mobility needs.
Practical features include double glazing, electric night storage heating and an on-site communal laundry. The building offers residents’ parking on a first-come basis and a bookable visitors’ room for occasional guests. The flat’s footprint is small (approximately 349 sq ft), so it suits downsizers or those seeking a low-maintenance pied-à-terre rather than a full-time family home.
Important facts to note: the property is leasehold with around 99 years remaining and an average service charge of about £2,340 per year (£195 per month). Heating is electric storage — useful for predictable bills in winter but not as economical as gas where available. Pets are not permitted, and the accommodation is offered specifically for the over-55s.
Overall this apartment offers straightforward, low-maintenance living in an attractive coastal town setting. It will particularly suit retirees or downsizers who prioritise location, communal facilities and easy access over larger internal space or complete modernisation.
