A newly renovated one-bedroom garden apartment in the heart of St Leonards, ideal for a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking low-maintenance living with outdoor space. The flat occupies the ground floor of a Victorian end-terrace and benefits from its own private entrance and an allocated paved courtyard with a large shed. Interiors include a recently fitted kitchen with integrated oven and electric hob, a sitting room with a new wall-mounted electric heater, bathroom with mains shower, and a double bedroom with electric heating.
Practical strengths include Share of Freehold with a long lease (199 years from 1987), very cheap Council Tax (Band A), excellent mobile signal and ultrafast broadband availability. On-street residents’ permit parking is available nearby, and the location is a short walk to Magdalen Road, St Luke’s campus and the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, plus highly regarded local schools.
Buyers should note the property has electric room heaters rather than a gas central heating system, and the building’s solid brick construction is assumed to lack wall insulation. The exterior shows some upkeep needs typical of older Victorian stock. The apartment’s footprint is modest (c. 453 sq ft), so it suits singles, couples, or buyers prioritising location and convenience over large living spaces.
Overall, this chain-free, low-maintenance flat offers an attractive entry into St Leonards with genuine convenience and broadband infrastructure, but buyers wanting gas central heating, extensive insulation, or larger rooms should factor potential costs for upgrades into their plans.
