Compact Victorian studio near Dawlish town centre — share of freehold and low service charge..
Bright studio with large UPVC double-glazed window
A compact studio in Devon Court, a handsome Victorian villa close to Dawlish town centre and transport links. The bright single-room layout benefits from a large UPVC double-glazed window, laminate floors and electric heating, making it ready to occupy or let with minimal immediate works.
Sold with a share of the freehold, the apartment gives owners joint control of the management company that oversees building insurance, fire alarms and statutory safety. The current low studio service charge (circa £75pcm) and proven lettings history make this attractive to first-time buyers and small-scale landlords seeking a seaside rental or short-term let opportunity.
Buyers should note material constraints: the building has listed status which will complicate external and structural alterations and may affect insurance and repair procedures. The property is accessed via a communal staircase and owners are responsible for internal upkeep, electrical and plumbing works. The surrounding area shows above-average crime and relative deprivation — factors to weigh if you plan long-term owner-occupation.
This is a straightforward, small-footprint home or investment entry point into the Dawlish market: characterful building, coastal location and low running costs, balanced by listing constraints and local area challenges.
