This refurbished one-bedroom flat sits on Braddons Street, a short walk from Torquay town centre and the harbour. The accommodation has been updated with double glazing, a contemporary shower room and a neat fitted kitchen, making it an attractive option for first-time buyers or buyers seeking a low-move-in solution. The private rear garden, laid mainly to patio and concrete, is a standout feature for an inner‑town flat and offers potential to personalise or extend vertically.
Practical details are favourable: the property is described as chain-free, has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and is in close proximity to good primary and secondary schools as well as frequent public transport links. With a large overall footprint (1,048 sq ft recorded), internal space feels generous for a one-bedroom layout and there’s scope to reconfigure or improve finishes if wanted.
Buyers should note a number of material points before viewing. The listing information contains conflicting tenure statements (Freehold listed in the summary, but a 199‑year lease and 1/3 share of maintenance costs noted elsewhere). This should be clarified legally. The area records high crime levels and is classified as very deprived; prospective purchasers should consider local safety, security and resale implications. Finally, while recently renovated, the garden and upper level are presented as having potential rather than being fully finished.
Overall, this is a sensible, well-located flat offering immediate occupation and garden space in Torquay town centre. It will suit a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a central pied‑à‑terre, provided tenure, ongoing costs and local area factors are checked and acceptable.
