This ground-floor, one-bedroom apartment sits in well-kept communal grounds within a purpose-built retirement development for the over-60s. The building offers low-maintenance living with lawns, shrubs and flower beds maintained for you, plus a communal lounge, kitchen, laundry room and a 24-hour emergency care system for peace of mind.
Inside the compact 422 sqft layout you’ll find a practical living room, a functional kitchen and a single bedroom served by a bathroom. The home benefits from double glazing and modern external appearance, and heating is provided by an electric boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold retirement apartment with only 59 years remaining on the lease. That limited term may restrict mortgage options and could affect resale value; purchasers should obtain mortgage and legal advice before committing. The property is small and best suited to someone seeking a low‑maintenance, downsized permanent home or pied‑à‑terre rather than a family house.
Comfortable local amenities are a short walk away in Budleigh Salterton’s town-fringe setting. The neighbourhood is quiet with very low crime and easy access to shops, bus stops and community facilities. Flood risk is nil and council tax is very low, keeping running costs modest.
