Set on the ground floor of a Grade II listed Victorian villa, this three-bedroom garden apartment combines period character with recent sympathetic renovation. High ceilings, generous rooms and original details sit alongside an updated kitchen with integrated appliances and contemporary bathrooms, ready for immediate move-in without chain. The apartment benefits from a private south-facing garden with patio and lawn, plus one allocated off-street parking space.
Practical ownership is straightforward: share of freehold with a long lease (circa 176–199 years remaining) and an annual service charge of about £2,000. The listed status brings charm and protection but will restrict alterations and may complicate some types of works. Council Tax Band D applies; mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators is installed.
Location is a key asset for those seeking village-style amenities within Torquay: a short, level walk brings you to St Marychurch and Plainmoor shops, medical services and cafes, while Babbacombe Downs and nearby beaches are within easy reach. Broadband options include superfast and ultrafast plans, and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note the local context: the area shows higher levels of deprivation and average crime rates, which may affect resale considerations. The apartment is newly renovated but, as a listed building constructed before 1900 with original sandstone/limestone walls likely without modern cavity insulation, there may be ongoing maintenance and energy-performance considerations to address.
