A practical one-bedroom ground-floor flat located just off Newton Abbot town centre, suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a compact, low-maintenance home. The apartment sits in a characterful period building with high ceilings in parts and benefits from allocated off-street parking and a communal roof terrace—useful extras in a town-centre setting.
Internally the layout is efficient: an open-plan living/kitchen, a good-sized double bedroom and a functional bathroom within 491 sq ft (45.7 sqm). The property has gas central heating, double glazing and a long lease (999 years from 2019), which removes common lease-length risks and makes mortgage/finance straightforward for most buyers.
Be clear about the local context: the area scores as deprived with higher-than-average crime rates, which may affect resale values and tenant demand. There is a service charge of £812 every six months (includes ground rent and buildings insurance) and the property is leasehold. As a ground-floor flat close to the town centre, expect some pass-by noise and lower privacy than higher-floor apartments.
Overall this is an affordable, low-upkeep urban flat offering immediate occupancy or rental potential. It is best suited to a buyer who prioritises location and convenience over rural quiet or large living spaces, and who accepts the local social and maintenance context.
