This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Babbacombe offers low-maintenance living in a purpose-built block close to Torquay amenities and coastal appeal. The flat benefits from a generously proportioned lounge, built-in storage, and communal landscaped grounds with on-site parking — features that suit a single occupant or couple seeking a retirement base or buy-to-let opportunity. Sold with no onward chain, it is ready for immediate occupation or light updating.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold and served by electric storage and room heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas heating. The overall size is compact (approximately 366 sq ft), and some internal decoration and updating appear desirable to refresh dated finishes.
Set within a communal retirement classification, the block (built 1983–1990) presents well externally with maintained grounds and easy pedestrian access. The location offers excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, nearby shops, healthcare and public transport — helpful everyday conveniences for older occupants or tenants. Note the local area is classified as deprived, which may influence resale and rental dynamics.
