A ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in the former Council Chambers, minutes from Budleigh Salterton town centre and a short walk to the seafront. The building sits in well-maintained communal grounds and is offered chain-free, making this a straightforward purchase for a buyer seeking central, low-maintenance living.
Internally the layout is compact (approx. 602 sq ft) with a single reception room, fitted kitchen and one bathroom. Windows provide street-view outlooks rather than coastal panoramas. The property is fitted with double glazing and electric storage heaters; the construction dates to the early 20th century and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated.
The flat will suit a downsizer or buy-to-let investor prepared to refresh the interior: cosmetic modernisation is recommended, particularly kitchen and bathroom upgrades (the bathroom currently has a dated pink suite). Being leasehold, purchasers should confirm length of lease and service/ground rent details as part of due diligence.
Practical positives include very low local crime, cheap council tax, excellent mobile signal and proximity to shops, healthcare and good primary schools. Drawbacks include modest internal space, limited private outdoor amenity (shared small lawn/planting area), electric heating and potential wall insulation works if energy efficiency improvements are required.
