This recently renovated ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance, contemporary living in Torquay’s St. Marychurch Road. The open-plan living and dining area opens onto a private patio, bringing outdoor space to ground-floor convenience. A private garage provides secure parking or extra storage — a valuable asset in town-centre locations.
Finished to a modern specification with double glazing and gas central heating, the flat is comfortable year-round and ready to move into. Built between 1996–2002, the construction and recent refurbishment reduce short-term maintenance needs. The long lease (175 years) and chain-free sale simplify purchase logistics for buyers.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,750 per year, and the overall apartment size is on the smaller side (approximately 579 sq ft). The wider area is classified as a self-sufficient retirement community with signs of local deprivation; while local schools rate mostly good and amenities are close, the neighbourhood character may suit downsizers or investors more than buyers seeking a vibrant high-street scene.
Overall this flat suits someone looking to downsize to a manageable, modern home with private parking and outdoor space, or an investor seeking a low-maintenance let in a retirement-oriented area. Be aware of the annual service charge and the compact internal footprint when comparing to other options.
