Set on the second floor of Babbacombe Downs Court, this two-bedroom flat offers open outlooks and exceptional sea views from one bedroom and the shower room — a real coastal perk. The building is well maintained, the apartment includes double glazing, communal gardens and a dedicated off-street parking space, and it is sold chain free with a long lease (950 years) and below-average service charge.
The accommodation is compact (approximately 593 sq ft) with a bright lounge, small modern kitchen and a shower room. Rooms are functional and bright, ideal for a first purchase, weekend retreat or rental; the location sits close to Babbacombe Downs' cafes, theatre and local shops, with beaches within walking distance for coastal living.
Some updating is required: the property is described as needing renovation and will benefit from cosmetic and possibly mechanical upgrades. Heating is recorded as electric storage heaters, though a cupboard houses an Ideal gas boiler — buyers should verify the heating system and running costs. The lift is on a separate charge shared between flats that use it.
Practical positives include long lease length, low annual service charge and a single parking space. However, the flat is small, in a neighbourhood classed as ageing urban communities with local deprivation indicators, and it will require buyer attention and spending to modernise. Those seeking a coastal base or entry-level home will find genuine potential here.
