Set on the first floor of a mid‑century block on Coach Road, this one‑bed flat offers straightforward living with bright open views and a small balcony. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, lounge, fitted kitchen with oven and hob, double bedroom and bathroom — all arranged over a compact 492 sq ft. An allocated parking space and well‑kept communal grounds add useful outdoor and parking convenience.
Practical features include UPVC double glazing and electric storage heating. The long lease (199 years from 1983) and modest footprint make the flat suitable for a first‑time buyer wanting an affordable entry into Newton Abbot or an investor seeking a lettable one‑bed close to transport links and local amenities. The communal retirement classification means the setting is generally quiet and well maintained.
The flat shows some dated finishes and will benefit from cosmetic updating — a chance to personalise the kitchen, bathroom and living areas. Buyers should budget for ongoing running costs: a service charge of around £1,200 per year and electric heating costs that can be higher than gas alternatives. There is no significant flooding risk and the area is considered very low crime with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Overall, this property delivers a practical, low‑maintenance home with good access to Newton Abbot station, the A380/A38 and local schools. It’s a sensible option for someone starting out who wants a manageable home to modernise over time, or for landlords targeting steady rental demand in an affluent, commuter‑friendly area.
