This first-floor maisonette sits within a Victorian terrace in central Teignmouth, a short walk from shops and the seafront. The open-plan lounge and kitchen is bright, features a log burner and offers distant sea views from the front windows. A rear terrace with a shed provides private outdoor space.
Accommodation includes one double bedroom plus a smaller second room suitable as a single bedroom, office or dressing room, and a bathroom with shower-over-bath. The layout is compact (approximately 646 sq ft) and will suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a town-centre pied-à-terre with character.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property uses electric storage heating, has double glazing but solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), and an EPC rating of E. Some updating is likely needed to improve energy efficiency and modernise finishes. The flat is leasehold with a very long remainder (999-year lease from 1987) and a small annual ground rent of £25; maintenance and insurance are shared, with this flat covering two-thirds of costs.
Location benefits from excellent mobile and fast broadband and nearby amenities, but the immediate area scores as very deprived with higher crime levels reported. Buyers should weigh the strong central location and rental potential against ongoing running costs, energy-performance improvement work, and the local socio-economic profile.
