A compact, ground-floor two-bedroom apartment set within a converted mid‑Victorian villa close to Newton Abbot town centre and Forde Park. The layout is efficient: porch, central hallway, a light lounge/diner with built-in alcove storage, galley kitchen and a modern shower room. Double glazing and gas central heating provide immediate comfort.
Practical for downsizers, the property is chain-free with off‑street parking and a Share of Freehold tenure (91 years remaining). Service charge is modest at £720 per year and there is no ground rent. Its prominent period frontage, high ceilings and sash-style features deliver character that’s hard to find in newer blocks.
Buyers should note limitations: the apartment footprint is small (556 sq ft) and external amenity space is minimal. The building’s original granite walls are likely uninsulated, so energy-efficiency improvements could be needed. Conservation-area restrictions and lease terms place limits on alterations.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, characterful home in a popular, leafy location suitable for downsizers or investors seeking a well-located rental. With modest updating focused on insulation and kitchens/bathroom, there is scope to increase comfort and market value.
