Set directly opposite Cary Park, this two-bedroom retirement apartment offers a quiet, community-focused base just a short, level walk from Babbacombe and St Marychurch. The living/dining room is bright and well-proportioned, and both bedrooms provide comfortable space for day-to-day living. Residents benefit from communal sitting room, off-street parking and easy access to cafes, shops and coastal walks.
Important practical considerations are clear and factual: the flat is leasehold with 65 years remaining. That limited lease term may restrict mortgage availability and will be a key factor for buyers and lenders. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the double glazing appears to pre-date 2002 — both typical of the building era but factors for running costs and comfort.
This chain-free apartment suits someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement base or downsizer who values proximity to green space and local amenities. While the property is presented for immediate occupation, buyers should check lease details, service charges, and mortgage options early. For those able to proceed without standard mortgage support, the location and communal facilities deliver genuine lifestyle appeal in Torquay.
