Summary - Orcombe Court, Exmouth EX8 2ET
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance one-bedroom apartment in managed over-55s development.
Second-floor retirement apartment with lift access
A compact one-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of Orcombe Court, a McCarthy & Stone development built in 1996. The building is managed and provides practical communal facilities — residents' lounge, communal laundry, guest suite, lift access to all floors and a 24-hour Appello emergency call system — designed for low-maintenance, secure living for the over-55s.
The apartment offers an entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, one bedroom and bathroom in an average-sized layout (approx. 579 sq ft). Residents benefit from pleasant communal grounds, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a low local crime rate, making it well suited for someone downsizing who values convenience and connectivity.
Important financial and tenure points: the development lease was granted in 1996 (approximately 95 years remaining at sale), the annual service charge is £3,276.56 and ground rent is £520. These charges will materially affect running costs and resale value, so factor them into affordability calculations. The property is sold leasehold and is subject to the development’s age-restricted occupancy (55+).
This is a straightforward, low‑maintenance retirement home offering security and communal support rather than expansive living space. It will suit a buyer seeking manageable accommodation close to local amenities and transport links; those wanting larger rooms or full private outdoor space should consider the compact layout and communal nature before viewing.
