Apartment 3, Hughenden Manor sits right at the end of Woodend Road, a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Torquay’s best lifestyle pockets. A short stroll brings you into Wellswood Village for everyday essentials, cafes and restaurants, while the harbour is within easy walking distance for waterside drinks and weekend wandering. You’re also well placed for the coast and green space, with Babbacombe, Anstey’s Cove, Meadfoot Green and Meadfoot Beach all close enough to enjoy without relying on the car — it’s the sort of position that genuinely changes how you live day to day.Set on the ground floor of an attractive Victorian conversion, the building still retains real character, not least the grand communal entrance which makes a standout first impression as you arrive. The apartment itself starts with a reception hallway complete with built-in storage, and offers a practical layout with a separate WC alongside a separate bathroom suite with shower over. There’s a large double bedroom with tall windows, a separate lounge that gives you a proper living space (rather than everything being open-plan), and a modern kitchen with under-counter space for appliances plus a hob. There is a small Handy basement ideal for storage available in the flat accessed from the hallway.Importantly, there’s still plenty of scope for a buyer to add value through cosmetic upgrades over time — ideal if you want something well located and sensibly priced, with the chance to improve as you go. Offered at £85,000, this is a cracking first step onto the ladder for a single buyer looking to break away from renting and secure a home in a location that will always be in demand.Further benefits include a long original 999-year lease, share of the freehold, and an allocated parking space.EPC Rating: D
