This ground-floor retirement apartment is aimed at downsizers seeking an easily maintained, sociable home close to Newton Abbot town centre. The lounge opens directly onto well-kept communal gardens and a small patio, delivering natural light and an outdoor spot without garden chores. Communal amenities include a residents’ lounge, kitchen area and laundry room, supporting independent living with social opportunities on site.
Internally the flat has been freshly redecorated and fitted with new carpets. Accommodation comprises a spacious lounge, a well-appointed kitchen with built-in oven and plumbing for appliances, a good-sized double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a modern bathroom with a heated towel rail. Double glazing and electric storage heaters are installed; the building is a mid-terrace block constructed in the 1980s.
Important lease and cost details affect this purchase. The property is leasehold with only around 57–58 years remaining; many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend against such a short lease. Annual service charge is approximately £3,400 and ground rent about £500, both payable in two instalments. These running costs and lease length significantly affect affordability and mortgage options.
Practical positives include no onward chain, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and easy walking access to shops, cafes and the train station. Downsizers should note the area has higher crime statistics and the heating is electric storage, which can be more expensive than mains gas. Buyers should obtain specialist lease and mortgage advice before committing.
