- 981 years remaining on the lease (long leasehold)

This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Devondale Court offers compact coastal living with direct estuary views and a private balcony. At 459 sq ft it’s well suited to first-time buyers seeking an affordable seaside home or investors targeting strong local rental demand. The flat benefits from a very long lease (981 years), dedicated off-street parking and attractive communal gardens.
The layout is traditional with an open-plan living/dining/kitchen that opens to the balcony, plus two modest bedrooms and a modern bathroom. Double glazing was installed after 2002. Heating is by electric storage heaters — efficient to install but potentially costly to run compared with gas. The decor is generally dated and will suit purchasers comfortable with light updating.
Practical positives include very low local crime, no flood risk, fast broadband and a very low council tax band. The location is close to the beach, train station and local amenities, supporting both rental appeal and day-to-day convenience. Note the wider area is classified as ageing rural neighbourhoods with higher local deprivation indicators, which may affect longer-term capital growth compared with more affluent coastal towns.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-located compact flat with strong short-term value for those wanting an affordable entry into the Dawlish Warren market or a rental asset that requires minimal immediate investment. Buyers should factor in running costs for electric heating and consider cosmetic updating to maximise rental or resale value.
