Partial river view with second-floor balcony
Perched on the second floor of a riverside block just off West Looe Quay, this two-bedroom apartment offers partial river views and a balcony — ideal as a coastal pied-à-terre or a compact main residence. The living room/diner and two bedrooms are a comfortable, average size and benefit from natural light through older double-glazed windows.
Practical running costs are straightforward: a below-average service charge of £250 and a small ground rent of £50. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has electric storage heating, so there’s scope to improve energy efficiency if desired.
Important cautions: the lease has about 46 years remaining, which could limit mortgage options and affect valuation. The property sits in a high flood-risk area — worth confirming insurance and flood-defence details before committing. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and the heating relies on electric storage heaters rather than gas, which may increase energy bills for some buyers.
For buyers seeking a low-maintenance riverside location with immediate access to shops, cafes and the harbour, this flat presents an affordable entry to West Looe. It suits someone prepared to accept the lease and flood considerations or a buyer who can invest in improvements that add comfort and long-term value.
