Summary - MATLOCK COURT, 3 FLAT 4 MATLOCK TERRACE TORQUAY TQ2 5NY
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Affordable seaside starter close to shops and marina.
Allocated off-street parking space directly with the apartment
A compact ground-floor one-bedroom apartment set in a converted Victorian terrace, only a short walk from Torquay seafront, marina and town centre. The flat is offered vacant and chain-free, with the uncommon benefit of an allocated off-street parking space — a rare convenience so close to the waterfront and local amenities. The lease is long (around 162 years remaining) and the service charge is modest at £90 per month.
Internally the layout suits a single occupant or couple: a double bedroom with built-in storage, a good-sized lounge, a small modern kitchen and a three-piece bathroom with shower over bath. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property has double glazing (installed before 2002). The building retains period features such as high ceilings and bay windows, which add character but may need external cleaning or maintenance to improve kerb appeal.
Be candid about the neighbourhood realities: the immediate area scores high for deprivation and recorded crime is very high, which could influence perceived safety and rental demand. The flat is best for buyers seeking an affordable seaside entry point or landlords targeting budget-conscious rentals; refurbishment or updates to heating and communal upkeep would increase long-term appeal and value.
For purchasers who prioritise location and low initial outlay, this apartment delivers proximity to cafes, transport and leisure while keeping running costs low (very cheap council tax). Budget for minor repairs and potential upgrades to heating or communal exterior works to fully realise the property’s potential.
