This well-presented two-bedroom flat on Middle Warberry Road offers light, practical living with distant sea views and immediate availability — no onward chain. The open-plan lounge/diner and modern fitted kitchen give a sociable layout, while built-in storage in both bedrooms keeps the space uncluttered. A garage adds valuable off-street parking and storage.
The lease is exceptionally long (956 years) and ground rent is minimal (£15). The service charge is higher than average (£2,500 pa) but includes water, hot water, communal heating and building insurance, which simplifies bills. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and benefits from double glazing installed after 2002.
Practical buyers should note the property sits within a communal retirement classification and a community heating scheme; this may influence running costs and communal arrangements. The wider area shows higher deprivation metrics despite proximity to Torquay’s seafront, shops and good local schools, so consider local amenities and commute links when viewing.
Overall, the flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-move-in coastal property, a buy-to-let investor looking for straightforward management, or someone after a holiday base close to harbour and beaches. The combination of long lease, garage and inclusive service package makes it a low-hassle purchase, provided the service charge level fits your budget.
