This well-presented first-floor apartment in Royal Marina Court offers classic period character alongside sweeping sea and harbour views. The property suits a single buyer or couple seeking a compact, versatile home or a holiday lock‑up, with two reception rooms that allow separate living and dining or a home office.
The apartment benefits from high ceilings, large sash-style windows, a private balcony and double glazing (fitted post-2002). It has a long lease (c. 967 years), mains gas central heating and an established position within Torquay’s marina quarter — all within easy walking distance of cafes, restaurants and coastal walks.
Buyers should note the practical costs and neighbourhood context: an annual service charge of around £2,000 and a small ground rent of £100, plus the building sits in an area with very high recorded crime and very high deprivation indices. The bedroom is modest in size and some original timber-frame walling is assumed to lack modern insulation, which could affect heating bills and future refurbishment scope.
Overall this property offers immediate coastal living, strong rental and holiday-let potential given the location and outlook, but it will appeal most to those who prioritise position and views over larger internal space and who are comfortable managing running costs and local area considerations.
