Local area: strong amenities and transport but higher crime and deprivation
Set within a purpose-built retirement development on the lower slopes above Torquay harbour, this first-floor two-bedroom apartment delivers direct southerly views across the marina and Tor Bay. The principal rooms face front to capture the coastal outlook, and communal facilities — a rooftop conservatory, raised gardens, laundry and guest suite — add tangible lifestyle value for residents aged 60 and over.
The accommodation is well planned and presently configured with an enlarged principal reception (original two-bedroom layout can be reinstated). The kitchen is fitted with modern white gloss units and integrated Bosch appliances; bedroom one has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite. Practical features include double glazing, a lift to all floors and secure gated parking with an allocated space and direct access lift.
Buyers should note material considerations: heating is electric storage heaters, the property is leasehold (about 151 years remaining) and the service charge is relatively high at £5,600 per year. The location scores highly for transport, shops and seafront amenity, but local crime and area deprivation metrics are noted as elevated, which may affect some buyers’ preferences.
This apartment will suit downsizers or retirees seeking easy access to Torquay’s harbour, coastal walks and town-centre facilities, while also offering straightforward investment or holiday-use potential given the EPC B rating and strong broadband/mobile connectivity.
