Summary - 178 UNION STREET TORQUAY TQ2 5QP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, modern top-floor flat — low-maintenance and chain-free, ideal for first-time buyers..
Chain free with long lease
A compact, chain-free one-bedroom top-floor flat on Union Street, presented in contemporary condition and ready to move into. The apartment benefits from a modern kitchen and bathroom (both under five years old), new flooring, upgraded loft insulation and a long lease — practical advantages for a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking low-maintenance urban living.
Accommodation is small and arranged under eaves typical of top-floor conversions, so ceiling heights are limited in places. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so running costs and interim improvements (secondary insulation or radiator upgrades) should be considered.
This property is well placed for local shops, bus routes and nearby schools, offering convenience for daily life or easy lettability for buy-to-let investors. There is no private outdoor space and views face the street.
Buyers should note material local factors: the area records very high crime levels and significant deprivation, which will affect desirability and rental yield risks. The flat is leasehold with subletting restrictions, so check the lease terms and service charges before committing.
