Summary - 28 FLAT 2 MORTON ROAD EXMOUTH EX8 1BA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact period one-bedroom with long lease and seaside location.
Under 300 metres to the beach
This one-bedroom first-floor flat sits under 300 metres from Exmouth beach in a Victorian terrace, offering high ceilings, bay windows and period character. The living room feels bright and spacious thanks to its bay window and natural light, while the kitchen is modern, practical and includes a gas boiler and useful storage. The property comes with a long lease (circa 981 years) and a 1/5 share of the freehold, giving long-term security rarely found at this price.
Practical details matter: there is a communal courtyard to the rear, residents’ permit on-street parking, and an annual service charge of about £1,560 covering building insurance and communal maintenance. Buyers should note mixed heating details in the description — gas equipment is present (boiler noted) but electric storage heaters are also listed — and double glazing is present though installation date is unknown.
Material negatives that affect suitability and cost are clear: the property sits in a high flood-risk area and the local crime level is above average. The neighbourhood is relatively deprived overall, which may concern some buyers but can also mean lower entry prices and potential for capital growth. Council tax is very cheap, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local primary schools include Ofsted-rated good options.
This flat will suit a buyer seeking a compact seaside pied-à-terre, a first home close to town and sea, or an investor after a low-maintenance rental near amenities. It offers character and a long lease but requires realistic budgeting for insurance, potential flood mitigation and communal service charges.
