Summary - 28 FLAT 2 MORTON ROAD EXMOUTH EX8 1BA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
One-bedroom Victorian flat moments from the beach with long lease and communal courtyard..
Under 300 metres from the beach
Set within a handsome Victorian terrace and under 300 metres from the beach, this one-bedroom flat offers a bright bay-front lounge, a good-sized double bedroom and a practical fitted kitchen. High ceilings and period cornicing give the living space character, while the communal courtyard provides outdoor space without the upkeep of a private garden. The property comes with a long lease (981 years) and a 1/5 share of the freehold.
Practical running costs and recent updates include a gas boiler installed in 2022 and double glazing to the front, plus an annual service charge of £1,560 that covers building insurance, communal electricity, fire checks and general maintenance. Residents’ permit on-street parking is available and the town centre is within comfortable walking distance, making everyday life convenient for shopping, cafés and transport.
Buyers should note material downsides: the property is in an area with a high flood risk and crime levels above average, and the wider area shows signs of deprivation. The flat is average-sized (approximately 483 sq ft) and arranged for simple, affordable living rather than expansive space. Prospective purchasers should obtain flood-risk and insurance advice and clarify the primary heating setup, as records list both gas central heating and electric storage heaters.
This flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a seaside location with period charm and a long lease, or an investor wanting a straightforward rental close to town and the beach. It offers a balance of character and manageable communal responsibilities, but buyers must accept the environmental and local-area challenges and factor them into purchase and insurance decisions.
