This bright first-floor apartment offers a practical, low-maintenance home close to Exeter city centre, the RD&E hospital and the River Exe. The dual-aspect living/dining room with Juliet balcony brings plenty of natural light, while the modern galley kitchen and contemporary bathroom reduce immediate renovation needs. With gas central heating and good broadband and mobile signals, the flat is move-in ready for a single person or couple.
The property sits within a well-kept development with an allocated off-street parking space and shared lawned garden. Leasehold owners hold a share of the freehold and the current long lease (981 years remaining) gives notable security. Service charges and a separate management payment cover communal upkeep and green spaces, making external maintenance straightforward for owners.
Floor area is compact at about 459 sq ft, so storage and living space are limited compared with larger flats. The apartment is accessed via communal stairs and has standard ceiling heights, which may not suit buyers needing private outdoor space or wheelchair access. The wider area is described as deprived with average crime levels, which is reflected in local services and community profile.
Overall this is a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-hassle, well-located one-bedroom home with long lease protection and allocated parking. Buyers seeking larger living areas, private gardens or a quieter neighbourhood should consider viewing other options.
