Set within an ornate Victorian mansion, this one-bedroom flat offers bright rooms, high ceilings and generous windows that bring natural light into the living room and bedroom. The layout includes a separate living room, small kitchen, bathroom with over-bath shower and an adjoining utility/store room housing the gas boiler — useful extra storage or dressing space. Gas central heating and UPVC double glazing provide practical comfort.
The apartment is compact at about 499 sq ft and is well placed for Dawlish town centre, public transport and local amenities — appealing for a first-time buyer, buy-to-let investor or holiday-let owner. Owners will receive a share of the freehold and join the management company which handles building-wide safety and structural maintenance; service charges are modest (circa £1,500 pa) but reviewed annually.
Condition is functional but dated in places: the living room and communal areas show plaster and cosmetic wear and the kitchen/bathroom are basic. There is clear scope to modernise to improve comfort and rental yield. Parking is limited — allocated spaces apply to two-bedroom flats only, with two additional spaces available to purchase (approx. £5,000 each) on a first-come basis.
Note the wider context: the building sits in a constrained/renter-dominated area with above-average local crime and higher area deprivation than average. These factors affect resale and rental pricing but are balanced by low running costs, excellent mobile signal and immediate proximity to town services and transport links. The flat presents a straightforward, low-footprint purchase for someone wanting a ready-to-let or starter home with renovation upside.
