Set within the sought-after D'Arcy Court retirement complex, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers bright, level living close to Newton Abbot town centre. The dual-aspect lounge floods with light and features an electric coal-effect fire; the apartment includes a compact kitchen, two good-sized bedrooms and a modern shower room. Lift access, communal laundry, gardens and allocated parking support independent, low-maintenance living.
This flat is well suited to downsizers looking for a central, walkable location and a managed retirement community. The 99-year lease remaining (125-year original term from 1999) and no onward chain simplify purchase. Built-in storage and sensible room proportions make the layout practical for everyday use.
Buyers should note the annual running costs: an above-average service charge (approx. £4,200 pa) and a relatively high ground rent (approx. £795 pa), with annual review in March. Heating is electric and the interior shows some dated fittings in places, so modest updating may be wanted to personalise the home.
Material considerations include a medium flood risk for the area and a higher local crime classification; purchasers and their advisers should satisfy themselves on insurance and security implications. Overall, the property delivers convenient, low-effort retirement living with scope for cosmetic improvement and clear transactional simplicity thanks to no onward chain.
