This newly renovated one-bedroom flat in a character building on Castle Lane offers light, practical living for a first-time buyer or investor. The lounge has wooden flooring and leads to a private balcony with open outlook; a modern kitchen and bathroom complete the accommodation. Recent improvements should help the EPC rating rise from D to C, improving energy efficiency and running costs.
Practical benefits include long leasehold tenure (963 years remaining), off‑street parking and access to communal garden space. The property is pet-friendly — a useful advantage in this area — and is within easy reach of Torquay town centre, shops and public transport.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, and local crime statistics are high. The wider neighbourhood is described as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental demand. Overall, the flat presents a low-maintenance, move-in-ready option with potential for further value uplift from energy improvements.
