One-bedroom retirement flat with lift, gardens and harbour proximity — lease requires attention.
Second-floor retirement flat with lift access and communal residents’ lounge
Set in the popular Roundham area, this one-bedroom second-floor retirement flat at Homebourne House is a practical choice for someone seeking a low-maintenance coastal base close to Paignton harbour and town centre. The flat benefits from a lift access, residents’ lounge, attractive communal gardens and nearby amenities including shops, cafes and transport links — useful for independent retirees.
Inside, the apartment offers a spacious lounge/dining room with a pleasant outlook over the communal garden, a fitted kitchen and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The shower room is a wet-room style with grab rails and a fold-down seat, designed with mobility in mind. Heating is by electric storage and panel heaters, and the windows are uPVC double glazed.
Buyers should note material leasehold considerations: only 59 years remain on the lease, which may restrict mortgage options and affect valuation. Service charges and ground rent are relatively high given the asking price, and parts of the interior show dated 1970s finishes and worn carpeting — the flat will likely benefit from updating. An internal inspection is recommended to assess suitability and costs for any work.
Overall, this property suits a purchaser seeking a retirement-flat close to seafront amenities who accepts a leasehold purchase with limited remaining term and some updating required. It offers convenience, communal facilities and a garden outlook, balanced against lease and running-cost realities.
