A well-presented, purpose-built first-floor apartment in a popular spot adjacent to Babbacombe Downs. The flat offers a light double-aspect sitting room, fitted kitchen with built-in appliances, two bedrooms (principal with en suite) and a separate bathroom — arranged for easy, low-maintenance living. Lift access, telephone entry and allocated parking add everyday convenience.
This property suits downsizers or retirement buyers seeking a manageable, chain-free purchase with communal facilities. The long lease (approximately 163 years remaining) and modest ground rent (£50) provide security of tenure, while uPVC double glazing and an EPC B rating help with energy efficiency.
Be aware this is a small-flat layout with electric storage heating rather than gas central heating; running costs can be higher in colder months. The building sits within an area classified as ‘ageing urban communities’ and ‘very deprived’ locally; nearby amenities and bus links are good, but wider area social and economic indicators are mixed.
Overall, the apartment represents practical, low-upkeep accommodation in a convenient coastal-town location. It will appeal to buyers prioritising accessibility, parking and proximity to local shops and green space, and to investors seeking a straightforward leasehold flat with a long lease and tenant appeal.
