Summary - Flat 11, Golden Bay Court, 1 Nelson Road, BIDEFORD EX39 1LD
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free two-bedroom flat with sea views, parking and long lease — ideal downsizer or coastal investor..
Panoramic sea views from large picture window
Positioned on the first floor with a raised communal terrace, this chain-free two-bedroom flat makes the most of its coastal location with a picture window framing sweeping sea views. The open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining area feel bright and efficient, while a recently refurbished bathroom offers ready-to-use comfort. An allocated off-street parking space and access to a communal garden add practical convenience.
The long lease (955 years) and modest annual charges make ownership straightforward: ground rent £249pa and a below-average service charge of £750pa. Council tax is very cheap. The property has previously been used as a holiday let, so it could suit a downsizer seeking a low-maintenance coastal home or an investor seeking short-term rental potential.
There are a few material drawbacks to note. The flat relies on electric heating with no central heating system present, the walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, and the EPC is currently E (44) with potential to improve. These factors mean running costs and retrofit work should be considered. The area is classified as deprived, though local amenities and the beach are within easy walking distance.
Overall this compact, efficiently planned apartment offers immediate use with scope to reduce running costs and add value through energy improvements. Its coastal position, long lease and vacant possession present a straightforward purchase for someone wanting a seaside bolt-hole or an income-producing asset.
