This compact first-floor apartment sits in a converted Victorian semi in central Torquay, offering private off-street parking and a small rear garden. The layout includes a large open-plan lounge/diner, one double bedroom with bay window and built-in cupboard, a small separate kitchen and bathroom — arranged for easy, low-maintenance living. Its size and efficient plan suit a first-time buyer, downsizer, or buy-to-let investor seeking a straightforward town-base close to shops, transport and local schools.
Practical positives include multiple private parking spaces on the gravel forecourt and private external access, a useful hallway cupboard for storage, and very low council tax. The property is electric-heated via storage heaters and runs on mains electricity, which can be economical for some buyers but may not suit all heating preferences. The building fabric is traditional granite/whinstone with assumed no cavity insulation; solid-wall construction means future owners should consider insulation or heating upgrades to improve comfort and running costs.
This is a leasehold apartment in a very deprived area with average local crime rates and constrained-renter demographic locally — factors investors should weigh for rental demand and yield. The flat presents clear refurbishment potential rather than move-in-perfect luxury; cosmetic refresh and heating/electrical upgrades would add value. Overall this is an affordable town-centre one-bed with good parking and scope for improvement.
