Share of freehold; very long lease (939 years)
Dedicated garage plus residents' parking for secure storage
Chain-free sale; letting permitted but pets are not allowed
Main heating: electric room heaters — higher running costs possible
Service charge about £1,700 per year, payable half-yearly
Building age means communal services may need future attention
Situated on the Warberries hillside, this recently refurbished two-bedroom apartment offers bright, low‑maintenance living with a covered south-facing balcony and pleasant elevated outlook. The open-plan living and dining area flows to the balcony, while a newly fitted kitchen, modern shower room and separate cloakroom provide contemporary convenience. Two double bedrooms suit a couple or downsizer seeking comfortable space without heavy upkeep.
Practical benefits include share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (939 years), chain-free sale, dedicated garage and residents’ parking. Broadband options include superfast and ultrafast packages, and local amenities, good primary schools and the harbourside are all within easy reach.
Notable practical considerations: main heating is by electric room heaters, and the annual service charge is approximately £1,700. The lease contains a no-pets restriction, although letting is permitted. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, so buyers should factor in the age of communal services and possible future maintenance for the block.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a ready-to-move-into, low-maintenance home in Torquay with secure parking and long lease security. It offers immediate comfort and sensible potential for rental income, but purchasers should budget for electrical heating costs and ongoing service charge commitments.
