Positioned on a level seafront in Torquay, this three-bedroom duplex delivers bright, flexible accommodation across two floors with direct views towards the bay. The open-plan living area with integrated modern kitchen creates a sociable ground-floor hub, while two bathrooms plus a cloakroom suit full-time living or holiday use. The development includes an allocated off-street parking space and communal outdoor space accessed from the third bedroom.
The property is part of a well-maintained landmark development built in the early 1990s and benefits from double glazing (installed post-2002) and a generous overall floor area (approximately 1,484 sqft). With 115 years remaining on a leasehold title this unit is straightforward to own for many years; service costs and charges should be factored into budgeting.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, broadband speeds are very slow in the area, and council tax is above average. The annual service charge averages £1,588 and ground rent is £250 per year. These running costs are typical for managed, seafront developments and will affect running yields for holiday letting or overall monthly outgoings for principal residence.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking seaside convenience, couples looking for a low-exterior-maintenance home, or investors targeting holiday lettings. The beachfront position and allocated parking make it an attractive, low-upkeep option, but buyers should weigh the leasehold costs, slower broadband and electric heating against the lifestyle benefits.
