Chain-free, long-lease apartment close to Sidmouth town and seafront.
Two double bedrooms, ground-floor apartment
A ground-floor, two double-bedroom apartment on Sidmouth’s sought-after west side, ideal for downsizers seeking easy access and low-maintenance living. The sitting room opens to a covered balcony with a pleasant front aspect; extensive communal gardens and unallocated resident/visitor parking provide outdoor space without garden upkeep.
Practical points include a long lease (999 years from 1961) and an annual service charge of £2,133.16 which covers buildings insurance, water rates, lift maintenance and a roof reserve contribution. The flat is chain-free and set within a mid-century development about 650 metres from the town centre and seafront.
Buyers should note the property’s EPC D rating and electric storage heating; energy efficiency improvements could lower running costs. The kitchen and bathroom are dated and present clear scope for modernisation, offering potential to add value. The lease currently prohibits pets and holiday letting — important for some purchasers and investors.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer seeking a comfortable, low-maintenance home close to Sidmouth’s amenities and coast. It offers immediate occupancy with scope for cosmetic updating to personalise and improve energy performance.
