Set on a tree-lined residential road in sought-after Wellswood, this ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers a compact, practical home close to shops, bus routes and Meadfoot Beach. The apartment has level entry, a usable balcony, and off-street parking — useful for a single occupant or couple seeking a low-footprint base in Torquay.
The block is a solid mid-20th-century build with double glazing and communal parking. Heating is electric underfloor, which provides even warmth but may mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes. The layout is sensible: hallway with airing cupboard, a relatively large lounge/diner opening to the balcony, separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom.
Tenure is leasehold; buyers should confirm lease length, service charges and any ground rent. Walls are cavity construction with no installed insulation recorded, so there is potential to improve thermal performance (subject to building rules and lease). Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local crime levels are low — practical positives for everyday living or renting.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-located one-bedroom apartment with genuine rental and lifestyle appeal. It suits first-time buyers, downsizers or investors looking for a small, manageable property near Torquay town centre and coastal amenities. Consider reviewing running costs tied to electric heating and checking communal maintenance arrangements before purchase.
