This three-bedroom maisonette on Gerston Road offers straightforward coastal living with clear potential for first-time buyers. The flat is freehold, arranged over two floors and provides a generous 950 sq ft footprint with high ceilings and period character in a Victorian end-of-terrace building. Its location a short walk from Paignton beach, town centre and transport links gives everyday convenience and letting appeal.
The layout includes a spacious lounge/diner, kitchen with ample storage, one family shower room and three bedrooms, plus eaves storage on the top floor. Services include mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council tax is low, which helps running costs.
Buyers should be aware of material negatives: the local area is classified as very deprived with very high crime rates, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so improvement works may be needed for comfort and efficiency. The property has a single bathroom and some rooms show dated finishes, so budget for cosmetic updating or targeted refurbishment if required.
For a first-time buyer this flat represents an affordable entry to Paignton with scope to add value through insulation, cosmetic renovation and modernising the shower room and kitchen. Investors may also find the location and freehold tenure attractive, but should factor in local area risks and likely refurbishment costs before committing.
