A compact, chain-free one-bedroom apartment with a private entrance and sunlit courtyard, well placed for Exmouth town centre and seafront. The living room feels welcoming with a wood-burning stove and wood flooring, while the kitchen/diner provides enough space for everyday cooking and casual entertaining.
Suited to a downsizer or single occupant seeking easy access to local shops, transport and amenities, the property benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Its modest footprint (approx. 450 sq ft) makes it manageable to maintain while the courtyard offers a private outdoor spot without communal garden upkeep.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property is leasehold, in a communal retirement classification area, and sits in a high flood-risk zone. The building dates from 1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely without modern insulation and double glazing installed before 2002 — further upgrading may be needed for thermal efficiency and comfort.
Overall this is a practical, well-located apartment offering immediate move-in potential for those who prioritise location and low-maintenance living, but budget-conscious buyers should allow for potential improvements and factor in leasehold considerations and flood risk mitigation.
