Summary - 6 Dower Court, Old Torquay Road TQ3 2RT
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free one-bed retirement flat with patio, communal gardens and nearby amenities..
Ground-floor retirement apartment, recently modernised
A well-presented ground-floor apartment in a purpose-built retirement development, recently modernised and offered chain-free. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area opens via patio doors onto a small private patio and level, landscaped communal gardens — a low-maintenance outside space for relaxation. The bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and the bathroom provides both a bath and separate shower cubicle, making daily living comfortable.
Positioned in Preston between Paignton and Torquay, the location is a level walk to local shops, cafes, healthcare and public transport, with several popular beaches close by. The development includes off-street parking on a first-come, first-served basis and is on the ground floor, which suits mobility needs.
Practical considerations: the property uses electric storage heaters (higher running costs possible), carries an annual service charge (£1,716 for 2022–23) and sits in an area with a medium flood risk. The development requires residents to be 60 or over; holiday letting is not permitted. On future sale, a 1% fee to the management company is payable.
This compact freehold apartment (approx. 406 sq ft) will suit someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement home close to town amenities and the coast. It is move-in ready following recent updates but buyers should note ongoing charges and energy/heating type when assessing running costs.
