This well-presented first-floor retirement flat sits on the level in a popular Newton Abbot development designed for over-60s. The apartment offers a compact, practical layout with a lounge/dining room, improved kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room — suited to a single occupant or a couple seeking low-stairs living with lift access.
Communal facilities are a key benefit: well-maintained gardens with seating, residents’ lounge, laundry room and off-street parking add convenience and sociability. The block is within easy walking distance of town centre shops, library, cinema, medical services and regular bus and rail links, so day-to-day needs and occasional outings are straightforward.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property has UPVC double glazing with shutters; energy performance is good (EPC B). The property is leasehold with a long lease remaining (see note below) and a notable monthly service charge covering building insurance and communal maintenance.
There are some material trade-offs to weigh. The flat is compact at around 588 sq ft and service charges are a recurring cost. The local area records higher crime and higher deprivation indices than average, which may influence some buyers. Prospective purchasers should also note mixed lease information in the papers (details below) and factor in any mobility or heating preferences when viewing.
