Well-sized one-bedroom flat offering a practical, comfortable base in Sherwell Hill, Torquay. At 711 sq ft this home feels larger than typical one-bed flats and benefits from private off-street parking — a rare convenience in the area. Fast broadband, very low local crime and close public transport links make it a sensible choice for commuting and everyday life.
The flat mixes character with straightforward modern living: a welcoming reception room with period-style features and a separate bedroom create distinct living spaces. The property is freehold, constructed recently (2022), and heated by a boiler with radiators and electric supply — simple and familiar systems for a first-time owner.
There are a few practical drawbacks to factor into your budget. The EPC rating is E and some internal decor appears dated, so modest improvement work could both increase comfort and resale value. Council tax is listed as expensive. Mobile signal is average, which may affect heavy mobile users.
For a first-time buyer seeking space, parking and transport convenience close to shops, parks and good local schools, this flat is an attractive, straightforward option. It suits someone happy to add modest cosmetic updates to personalise the home and lift energy performance over time.
