Low-maintenance seaside flat with parking and balcony for over-60s.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, approx. 383 sq ft
A compact, purpose-built ground-floor apartment in a low-rise, well-kept retirement development close to Torquay amenities. The layout is efficient: entrance hall with storage, a spacious lounge/diner, separate kitchen, double bedroom and shower room — all arranged for easy, low-maintenance living. Communal grounds, off-street parking and a private balcony add outdoor convenience without garden upkeep.
Practical features include double glazing (installed before 2002) and electric storage heating. The building was constructed around 1996–2002 and presents as well maintained externally. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern connectivity for staying in touch or working from home.
Important points to note: the property is leasehold and marketed as a retirement apartment, so it suits over-60s or buyers seeking a retirement-use purchase. Internal floor area is modest (approximately 383 sq ft), so it’s best for a single occupant or couple downsizing. The local area shows higher deprivation indicators, though the immediate neighbourhood offers plentiful shops, healthcare and public transport links.
This apartment will appeal to downsizers looking for a secure, low-effort home near the coast, and to investors seeking a steady rental let aimed at older tenants. It offers curb appeal, sheltered outdoor space and convenient parking, balanced against the compact internal footprint and tenure considerations.
