Affordable two-bedroom flat within walking distance of the seafront and local amenities.
Chain free with 161 years remaining on the lease
Light-filled two-bedroom apartment in a Victorian conversion, offered chain free and with a long lease (161 years). The first-floor flat is small (approx. 392 sq ft) but arranged efficiently with a T-shaped layout, a sizeable lounge with double-aspect windows, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom.
Practical features include double glazing throughout, off-street parking and communal grounds. Its position is a major draw: a short walk to Torquay harbourside and local shops, schools and amenities — ideal for someone wanting coastal living without car dependency.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with an annual service charge around £2,200 and a ground rent of £10. The building dates from before 1900 with granite walls likely uninsulated and electric night storage heating, so heating costs and thermal performance may be higher than modern homes.
The apartment suits a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking an affordable seaside base and is also of interest to buy-to-let investors, subject to the lease’s holiday rental restrictions. Some cosmetic updating is required — the interior shows dated finishes and wear — offering clear scope to add value with refurbishment.
