2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free, affordable two-bedroom top-floor flat in central Torquay — quick move or rental buy.
Top-floor, chain-free two-bedroom apartment, 484 sq ft
Excellent central location — short walk to Torquay town centre
Affordable price point at £80,000; council tax Band A
Small rooms; one bedroom has low ceiling and limited natural light
Electric room heaters only — likely higher running costs
Timber-frame construction with assumed no insulation — upgrade likely needed
Very high local crime and high area deprivation — consider safety and rental demand
Double glazing (post-2002), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband
This compact top-floor apartment on Tor Hill Road is offered chain-free and priced at £80,000 — an accessible option for first‑time buyers or investors seeking a central, easy-to-manage flat. The layout is practical: two bedrooms, a small modern living area with a skylight, and a simple bathroom and kitchen. Its town-centre location places shops, cafés and transport within a short walk, ideal for urban convenience and rental demand.
Be upfront about constraints: the apartment is small (484 sq ft) with one bedroom showing low ceilings and limited natural light. Heating is by electric room heaters only, and construction is timber-frame with no confirmed insulation, which could mean higher running costs and future upgrade requirements. Tenure is leasehold, council tax is low (Band A), and there is no flood risk.
The property has positives that appeal to buyers wanting a quick purchase or a rental-ready asset: double glazing installed post-2002, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. However, the wider area records very high crime and high deprivation levels, factors to weigh for family buyers or long-term owner-occupiers. Investors should factor these into rental yield and tenant selection strategies.
Overall, this is a straightforward, affordable opportunity in central Torquay — best suited to a buyer prepared for modest space and some likely maintenance or insulation improvements, or an investor seeking a low-entry investment in a busy town-centre location.
