Summary - South Street, Woolacombe, Devon, EX34 EX34 7BB
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Renovated, low-maintenance seaside home for over-60s seeking easy single-floor living.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat with two private balconies and countryside views
A newly renovated ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Woolacombe, this property offers a comfortable, low-maintenance coastal base close to the beach and village amenities. The bright lounge with a large bay window and a feature log-burning stove creates a warm, homely focal point, while two private balconies give direct outdoor access and open countryside views. The fitted Howdens kitchen includes integrated appliances and useful built-in larders, ready for immediate occupation.
The layout suits a retired buyer looking for easy single-floor living with a touch of period character. The double bedroom benefits from built-in storage and its own French doors to a balcony, creating a pleasant indoor–outdoor flow. Practical details — a modern shower room, newly updated finishes, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — make it suitable as a permanent home or a coastal retreat.
Financially this is being promoted with the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for over-60s: an indicative Lifetime Lease price of £177,500 (based on a typical 33% saving) is shown, while the full market price is £265,000. The property is leasehold with a long 999-year lease and a 1/3 share of the freehold; there is a maintenance/service charge of approximately £40pcm (£480pa). Interested buyers should verify tenure, service charge arrangements and the final Homewise price for their personal circumstances.
On the downside, this sits in a small coastal town environment (average local crime) and room sizes are modest, consistent with Victorian-period properties. There are no reported flood risks, but prospective purchasers should check all legal and technical details with their solicitor. The Home for Life offer is restricted to buyers aged 60 and over; anyone purchasing at full market value should confirm alternative buying routes.
