Summary - Flat 3, Marina Court, 6 Beacon Terrace TQ1 2BH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
One-bedroom leasehold flat with harbour views — ideal buy‑to‑let or holiday base.
Direct harbour-facing views and strong rental/tourist appeal
Positioned directly above Torquay Harbour, this one-bedroom apartment offers clear rental appeal and attractive short‑stay potential thanks to its waterfront aspect and town‑centre proximity. The living room benefits from high ceilings and generous proportions for a flat of this size, while the bay-facing windows bring good natural light and harbour views.
Practical features include double glazing (installation date unknown), mains gas boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — all useful for modern tenants. The long lease (approx. 161 years remaining) and permit parking availability make this a straightforward leasehold investment with low immediate lease‑term risk.
Material considerations are presented plainly: the property sits in a very high crime and very deprived area, which can affect rental yields, insurance costs and resale prospects. The building is pre‑1900 with assumed uninsulated solid stone walls, so energy efficiency may be poor and further insulation or upgrading could be required. The flat is modest in total size (approx. 571 sq ft) and has no private garden or allocated parking.
This apartment will suit a buy‑to‑let investor or someone seeking a holiday base close to Torbay’s amenities. It needs routine modernisation rather than a full structural overhaul, making it possible to improve returns through targeted cosmetic investment and better energy efficiency measures. Note: as a leasehold property additional fees (lease packs, service charges) may apply; buyers should obtain full lease and service charge details before committing.
