First-floor seaside apartment ideal for low‑maintenance retirement living or investment.
625 sq ft two-bedroom retirement apartment, compact and low-maintenance
A compact, well-presented first-floor retirement apartment in a converted Coach House development, just a short stroll from Paignton beach, pier and local amenities. The 625 sq ft layout offers two bedrooms, a living room with good natural light, and a separate kitchen — arranged for easy low‑maintenance living and straightforward circulation.
The development is arranged around a sheltered communal courtyard with gravel beds and potted landscaping, giving a private, low-traffic outdoor space without heavy upkeep. Practical features include double glazing (install date unknown), electric storage heating and excellent mobile signal with fast broadband — useful for staying connected or letting.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and marketed as a retirement apartment; prospective buyers should check lease length, service charges and any residency conditions. The local area scores high for deprivation and records very high crime levels, which may affect resale or rental desirability. Heating is electric storage heaters rather than central gas, and glazing dates are unspecified.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement base by the sea or an investor looking for a compact buy-to-let in a popular coastal town. Its proximity to shops, leisure facilities and transport links is a strong convenience factor, but buyers should balance location benefits with the social and security considerations of the immediate neighbourhood.
