Set over two levels, this compact two-bedroom maisonette offers practical living in central Torquay. The layout includes a bright reception room, modern kitchen, two bathrooms and useful storage, with the unusual addition of a private garage and separate storeroom — rare for maisonette accommodation and helpful for families or renters with bikes and sea‑side equipment.
The property is sold as shared ownership on an 81‑year lease. Service charge is reported at £840 annually and council tax is low. At about 517 sq ft the home is small but efficiently arranged; it will suit first‑time buyers, downsizers or buy‑to‑let investors looking for a compact, well‑located unit with immediate rental potential.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property sits in an area rated very deprived with very high local crime levels, and outdoor space is minimal — no private garden is evident. The shared‑ownership tenure and relatively shortish lease require early legal and mortgage advice, and additional leasehold costs (such as packs) may apply.
Overall, this is a pragmatic purchase for someone prioritising location, storage and low running costs over outdoor space or a long lease. It offers straightforward move‑in accommodation and clear lets potential, provided buyers accept the area context and leasehold arrangements.
