This compact one-bedroom first-floor flat sits within easy walking distance of Torquay town centre and the seafront, offering an attractive open-plan living area and modern kitchen finishes. The apartment is chain-free and ready for immediate occupation, making it a straightforward option for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable seaside base.
The accommodation is bright with twin front-aspect double-glazed windows in the living area and a sensible bedroom with a built-in wardrobe. Practical positives include fast FTTP broadband, a sensible 125-year lease remaining, and a low council tax band. The internal layout and contemporary bathroom provide a comfortable, low-maintenance home without major works required.
Buyers should note material constraints: the flat is small (approximately 323 sq ft), has no dedicated parking, and relies on electric room heaters rather than a central heating system. Annual service charge is around £1,600 and ground rent £70 per year. The surrounding neighbourhood is described as very deprived with very high crime statistics — factors likely to affect resale or rental demand and worthy of local checks.
This property is best suited to an owner-occupier seeking an inexpensive entry onto the Torquay market or an investor prepared to accept the area’s social challenges for a low purchase price. Verify heating adequacy, service charge details and local safety considerations before committing.
