This two-bedroom retirement flat in Paignton, Devon, presents a mixed bag. Its location near Goodrington Sands Beach and Paignton town centre is a strong point, offering convenient access to amenities, transportation (via the nearby Paignton train station), and the sea. The proximity to local schools is also a potential benefit, although the quality of the schools requires further investigation due to the lack of Ofsted rating details in the supplied data.

The property itself appears well-maintained internally, from the photographs, though some updates might be desirable to enhance its appeal and value. The kitchen and bathroom would benefit from a refresh, while the living areas seem reasonably presentable. The lack of significant private outdoor space is a notable drawback, with only access to a shared garden area.

The list price of £170,000 requires careful consideration given nearby comparable properties and the limited size and shared external space. While its coastal location and convenience could justify a higher price, the asking price might be slightly inflated when compared to similar flats in the same development, particularly given those requiring ‘a little TLC’ are selling for substantially less. Potential buyers should thoroughly research local market trends and conduct a comprehensive property survey before making a purchase decision.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
