Summary - RIDGEWAY HEIGHTS 39 RIDGEWAY ROAD TORQUAY TQ1 2ND
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable two-bedroom flat with balcony and lift access near Torquay harbour.
Distant sea views toward Lyme Bay from living room and kitchen
Set on the Lincombes hillside with distant views towards Lyme Bay, this chain-free second-floor apartment offers a compact, well-proportioned layout ideal for buyers seeking seafront access without the seafront price. The living/dining room opens onto a private covered balcony, and the kitchen also benefits from sea glimpses — useful features for everyday comfort and occasional entertaining. Two double bedrooms include a principal room with balcony access. Lift access and a selection of parking options add practical convenience.
The building is a mid‑20th‑century purpose-built development with communal heating via a gas-fired boiler. External finishes and some balcony elements appear dated and may need attention; the property is best seen as ready to occupy but with potential for cosmetic improvement. Service charges cover communal maintenance and estimated heating/water contributions; reconciliations may be necessary if actual usage differs.
Buyers should note a material drawback: the remaining lease is 73 years. Many mortgage lenders have minimum lease requirements and may refuse lending at this term, so purchasers should obtain advice on mortgageability and potential costs to extend the lease. The annual service charge and a small ground rent are payable. For those able to buy cash or arrange specialist finance, this apartment offers a cost-effective coastal location with reasonable scope for value uplift through internal refresh.
Positioned for seaside walks, the harbour, marina and local amenities, the property suits buyers wanting Torquay convenience and coastal lifestyle on a budget. It is also suitable for investors prepared to buy with cash or to manage lease-extension work where feasible.
