This ground-floor two-bedroom flat sits in the heart of Exmouth with no onward chain and a long 999-year lease granted in 2010. The property benefits from gas central heating (combi boiler), uPVC double glazing and a dual-aspect living/dining room that makes the most of natural light. A private courtyard garden provides outside space rare for town-centre flats.
The layout is practical but unconventional: one bedroom is reached via an internal staircase from the flat, which may suit some buyers but could feel awkward for others. The building is Victorian solid-brick construction with no known cavity insulation and some legacy-period features; thermal and acoustic performance may be lower than modern builds. Maintenance responsibility for communal fabric is split 50/50 with the upper maisonette on an as-and-when basis.
This flat will appeal to first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into town-centre living or investors after a centrally located let. It requires little immediate work to be habitable, but prospective buyers should budget for future upgrades (insulation, potential damp checks, and any modernisation of kitchen or bathroom). Note the area records higher crime levels and local deprivation; buyers should consider this when viewing and assessing security measures.
Practical benefits include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, easy access to the train station, seafront and local amenities, and very low council tax (Band A). The combination of central location, private outdoor space and long lease offers clear potential for comfortable living or rental income with modest refurbishment.
