48 Ridgeway Heights, Ridgeway Road, Torquay, TQ1 2ND
New to the market is this spacious upper floor apartment, forming part of the well-established Ridgeway Heights development on sought-after Ridgeway Road. Occupying a commanding elevated position above Torquay, the building enjoys a striking setting, with the apartment itself benefiting from sea views from selected aspects and lift access to all floors. Available to purchase straight away with no onward chain.
Access is via a well-kept communal ground floor entrance with secure telephone entry system, while lifts serve all levels for ease and convenience. The apartment offers generous proportions throughout and presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to modernise and add their own stamp, with the pricing reflecting the cosmetic updating now required.
Internally, the accommodation is well laid out and includes a large welcoming hallway with useful storage cupboards, a spacious lounge/dining room, and a modern kitchen/breakfast room enjoying a lovely outlook. There are two double bedrooms, both with fitted storage, with the principal bedroom being a generous double. The accommodation is completed by a separate bathroom and separate WC, adding practicality to the layout.
Outside, parking is on road, with a good amount available nearby. The apartment is offered within a well-regarded block with clear management rules in place, including no pets and no holiday letting permitted.
This apartment will appeal to a wide range of buyers. For a lock-up-and-leave purchaser, the secure communal entry, lift access and manageable accommodation make it an easy property to come and go from. For a first-time buyer, it offers excellent space compared to many apartments in this price range, along with the chance to improve cosmetically over time and add value. For downsizers, the lift access, practical layout and proximity to Wellswood, the harbour and nearby walks make it a very convenient and enjoyable base. It could also suit a long-term buy-to-let investor, particularly those looking for a well-proportioned apartment in a consistently desirable Torquay location, although it is important to note that holiday letting is not permitted within the building.
The service charge breakdown is as follows:
- Service Charge: £757.44 per quarter
