Affordable town-centre one-bedroom flat with parking and refurbishment potential.
Attractive low asking price — strong entry-level investment potential
This one-bedroom apartment on Upton Road offers an affordable entry into Torquay’s town centre. Priced attractively, it’s ideal for a first-time buyer or investor willing to take on light refurbishment to unlock strong rental potential. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and generous bedroom get good natural light from double-glazed windows.
The building is Victorian in origin with modern communal access and residents’ off-street parking — a valuable perk in a central location. Heating is via electric storage heaters; mains electricity powers the home and there’s no known wall insulation, so factor running costs and improvement work into your plans.
The property requires renovation: cosmetic updating throughout and attention to the en suite and kitchen will be needed to modernise the flat. There is medium flood risk for the area and the neighbourhood scores high on deprivation indices, which may affect resale and rental profiles. Leasehold tenure applies.
Nearby amenities include shops, buses and local schools (several rated Good and one Outstanding nearby). For buyers seeking an affordable project with clear scope for value-add, this apartment presents a practical, centrally located opportunity.
