Description

New to the market is this newly renovated first floor apartment in the heart of Babbacombe, perfectly placed for a relaxed, walkable lifestyle. Just a short stroll from Babbacombe Downs, Walls Hill and St Marychurch precinct, you have a wide choice of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities virtually on the doorstep – an ideal setting for first time buyers or anyone wanting a bright, low-maintenance home in a prime spot.

Forming part of a converted house of just two dwellings, the property is approached via a shared communal entrance, with each flat enjoying an equal share of the freehold. Maintenance is arranged informally on an “as and when” basis between the two owners, keeping things simple.

On arrival, a generous reception hallway on the ground floor provides an ideal area for coats, shoes and storage, with stairs rising to the apartment itself. At the top of the stairs a particularly spacious landing sets the tone – a great multi-use space that could easily accommodate a study desk, reading corner or additional storage. A small feature window ensures this area, and the apartment as a whole, feels naturally light and airy, helped further by high ceilings and large windows.

The accommodation has been newly carpeted and decorated throughout and offers two bedrooms – a well-proportioned double and a generous single. To the rear is a large lounge/dining room overlooking the garden, giving plenty of space for both seating and dining furniture. Depending on lifestyle, buyers may choose to use this as an impressive main bedroom instead, with the current double bedroom then working well as a separate living room – the layout is flexible and will suit different needs.

The newly renovated bathroom features new flooring, a panelled bath with shower over, wash basin, radiator and low level WC, along with a very useful built-in linen cupboard ideal for towels and bedding.

A newly installed Howden’s kitchen completes the accommodation, fitted with ample worktop space and storage, space for an upright fridge/freezer and washing machine, together with a new gas hob and electric oven. The apartment benefits from double glazing and gas central heating throughout.

Outside, there is shared use of the rear garden, providing a pleasant outdoor space to enjoy. Parking is available on road in the surrounding area.

Overall, this is a spacious, bright and move-in ready apartment in a superb lifestyle location, ideal for buyers looking to get on the ladder and make the most of everything Babbacombe and St Marychurch have to offer. A simple transaction as the property is empty with no onward chain.

Torquay property experts since 2010

At Absolute Sales & Lettings we do modern estate agency a bit differently. We're local and independent to our core, and always focus on delivering a totally bespoke approach to selling and letting properties, combining our local expertise and a powerful network with unique property marketing campaigns. Founding Director Simon Fisher first opened our doors in 2010, and are now proud to not only have 3 well-established offices across Torbay, but to also have been presented with multiple coveted awards, including 'GOLD South West Regional Estate Agency' at the prestigious Negotiator Awards. We're also incredibly proud and active supporters of our local charity, Rowcroft Hospice.

When choosing Absolute, you'll meet a devoted, experienced and well-connected team of property professionals who will work alongside you to make your home or investment property stand out from the crowd, ultimately achieving you the best price in the right timescale. Our innovative ethos has always put us at the forefront of contemporary estate agency, from the use of the latest property technology, to the modern designs of our offices and in-house marketing. Above all else, our primary goal is to provide you with an outstanding level of attentiveness, care and expertise.

Our Torquay Sales branch is headed up by Director Darren Hole, who has been working in Torbay estate agency since 1997. Darren is assisted by our highly accomplished Torquay team, including Senior Property Consultants Tina Liddiard and Frank Earnshaw, who have been helping Torquay residents with their properties from our sleek Wellswood office since 2016. Selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever have to make and choosing who to trust with this is key to a successful sale. Our vendors love our professional photography, bespoke brochures, 3D virtual tours and extensive social media marketing that we are able to offer, and buyers find them invaluable when selecting which properties to view.

We're also proud to have a highly-established lettings team, which is headed up by our Lettings Director Chelsey Earnshaw who won the coveted 'Best Property Manager Gold Award' at the Sunday Times Letting Agency of the Year Awards. Chelsey is ably-assisted by our experienced Lettings Manager Natalie Cook. A unique part of our lettings service is that you'll be assigned a designated property manager who will look after you and all aspects of the lettings process, including ensuring your compliance. If you are looking for an agent to manage your property as if it was their own, we'd love to talk to you.
