This one-bedroom flat in Homebourne House offers low-maintenance living tailored to over-60s who want to be near Paignton Harbour. The layout is compact and practical: a separate double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a reception room with large windows, a modest kitchen off the living area and a shower room. Communal amenities include a residents’ lounge, on-site house manager, lift access and residents’ parking — all useful for independent retirement living.
Practical points to note: the building is a 1967–75 construction with cavity walls (insulation unconfirmed) and electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with modern central heating. The flat is leasehold and compact at about 452 sq ft, so it suits a single person or couple seeking an easy-to-manage home rather than large family accommodation.
Location is a strong selling point — close walking distance to Paignton Harbour, shops and frequent public transport links, with nearby green spaces for walks. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported good, and there is off-street residents’ parking for convenience.
The property is offered chain-free, making a quick purchase possible. Be aware of the building’s age and heating type; buyers preferring a fully modernised, low-energy home should factor potential upgrade costs (insulation or heating) into their plans. Overall, this is a straightforward, community-focused retirement flat in a convenient seaside town location.
