Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Freehold Maisonette in Prime Babbacombe Location
  • Chain Free Property with Gated Off Street Parking
  • Rental & Airbnb Investment Opportunity
  • Spacious Open Plan Kitchen & Living Area
  • Master Bedroom with Four Piece En Suite
  • Walking Distance to Babbacombe Downs & Cliff Railway
Presenting this rare chance to purchase a delightful two-bedroom freehold maisonette, elegantly located in the heart of Babbacombe, directly opposite All Saints Church. This chain-free property also offers gated off-street parking to the side of the building. The property was rented out for £12,900 per year and represents an investment opportunity, whether as a rental investment or as a potential Airbnb.

Designed with modern comfort and sociability in mind, the open-plan kitchen and living area is bright and spacious. The master bedroom impresses with a generous four-piece en-suite bathroom, equipped with underfloor heating for added luxury. The second floor is equally inviting, with a versatile study/snug on the landing area ideal for home working. The second bedroom is served by a shower room on this floor, providing extra comfort for guests or family members.

Outside, the property offers a charming, low-maintenance garden space, suitable for adding personal touches with potted plants or greenery. With its enviable location just steps away from the parade of shops on Reddenhill Road, and a short walk from the scenic Babbacombe Downs, residents can enjoy easy access to local amenities, dining, and stunning coastal walks. Babbacombe Downs, England's highest cliff-top promenade, offers a meandering descent to the beach or a ride on the historic Cliff Railway.

Council Tax Band: B (Torbay Council)
Tenure: Freehold
One of the standout features of this property is its rare freehold tenure, which is uncommon for a maisonette. As a freehold owner, you have complete control over the property without the burden of restrictive covenants typically imposed on leasehold properties. There is no service charge or ground rent.

The maisonette is equipped with electric storage heaters throughout. However, there is a gas supply to the property, requiring only the installation of a meter and a gas boiler. The ideal location for the boiler would be in the en-suite of bedroom one, where, according to the vendor, gas piping has already been conveniently positioned. The vendor has obtained an estimate for the gas supply installation, which is expected to cost between £4,000 and £5,000.

Additionally, the property has recently undergone significant improvements, including a full re-roofing, the installation of a new water main, updated plumbing, and modernised electrics. With these essential upgrades already completed, future maintenance costs are expected to be minimal, making this an exceptionally low-maintenance and cost-efficient home.

The bathroom features fully tiled walls and flooring, with wall mounted mirrors at either end of the room.
