This bright ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits within Devon Court, a landmark Victorian villa in central Dawlish. A large rear-facing bay window brings afternoon and evening sun into the open-plan living room/kitchen, while high ceilings and original coving retain period character. The double bedroom is generous for the size, and a separate utility room houses the gas boiler and washing machine plumbing.
The property is sold with a share of the freehold and benefits from a management company that handles building insurance, fire alarms and structural maintenance. Current service charge guidance is £100 per month for a one-bedroom apartment (management will review charges annually). Off-street parking is available; two extra spaces can be purchased separately if needed (sold first-come, first-served).
Practical buyers will appreciate the coastal location close to Dawlish town centre, public transport and local amenities. The flat has modern touches — UPVC double glazing, vinyl and carpeted floors, and gas central heating — but is best described as ready for standard updating rather than being fully refurbished. This makes it suitable for a first-time buyer seeking character or an investor adding a small seafront flat to a portfolio.
Buyers should note material points: tenure details are not specified in the listing, and the wider area shows higher crime rates and relative deprivation. The communal nature of the building means owners share responsibility for internal upkeep and will pay an annual service charge. The apartment is compact (approximately 446 sq ft) with limited private outdoor space.
