A bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Wellswood, an attractive period area a short walk from village shops, cafés and the Torquay seafront. The sitting room and large sash windows deliver good natural light and character features, while the fitted kitchen and modern bathroom provide practical, move-in-ready accommodation. EPC C (71) and gas central heating offer reasonable running costs for the size.
The apartment is compact at about 614 sq ft and suits a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor seeking low-maintenance city living with easy access to local amenities. There is a single garage within a small block and a communal garden with rotary dryer, useful extras in this location. Leasehold tenure remains long (around 162 years) and residents own a share of the freehold.
Notable running costs include an annual service charge of about £1,200 and a ground rent of £100 (reported as not collected). Access is via communal stairs to the first floor, so the flat is not suitable for those needing step-free access. The building is in a conservation area and some original granite walls are uninsulated, which could affect long-term energy-efficiency improvements.
Overall this apartment offers character, convenience and a manageable ownership profile for buyers who prioritise location and low upkeep. It will particularly appeal to those who value Wellswood’s village feel and good transport links into Torbay and beyond, while accepting the modest size and shared building costs.
