Comfortable, bright one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor, set close to Paignton town and the seafront. The large lounge/dining room and double-aspect fitted kitchen provide roomy, flexible living space; the generous double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and a sizeable bathroom with bath and shower. Access is easy via external stairs or the lift, and residents benefit from a communal lounge and laundry room.
Practical details suit downsizers: a long lease (circa 155 years remaining), leasehold tenure, and an annual service charge of about £2,520 (c. £210/month). Heating is by electric storage heaters, so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. Parking is available on-site but not allocated.
Be aware of local and communal considerations: the wider area is described as very deprived and local crime levels are very high, which may affect perceived security and insurance premiums. Pets are not permitted. Overall, this property is best for over-60s seeking a secure, low-maintenance base close to town and coast, with scope to personalise interiors.
