The list price of £265,000 for a two-bedroom apartment with sea views in a desirable location like Wellswood is relatively reasonable, especially considering the desirable amenities such as the swimming pool and communal gardens. However, the need for potential modernisation and the lack of private outdoor space influences the valuation. The comparable nearby properties provide a general benchmark for pricing, but lack of sqft data on comparable properties limits a truly comprehensive price per sqft comparison.

While the apartment benefits from stunning views and communal amenities, the internal photos reveal a property that could benefit from some modernisation. The décor appears dated, and some updating of fixtures and fittings could significantly enhance its appeal and market value. Although structurally sound, there’s potential for improvement in terms of aesthetic appeal and modern comforts.

The property enjoys a desirable location in Wellswood, Torquay, known for its proximity to the sea, with stunning sea views. The area benefits from good schools (Ilsham Church of England Academy, a short distance away, being rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), and is within reasonable distance of Torquay’s town centre and transport links (Torquay train station is approximately 4km away). This combination of sea views, good schools, and relatively convenient access to amenities makes it an attractive location for many buyers.

The property offers access to communal gardens and a swimming pool which is a significant positive for this type of property. However, the lack of a private garden is a notable drawback for many buyers seeking outdoor space. The shared green spaces mitigate this somewhat, but it’s not a complete substitute for a private garden.
