The list price of £490,000 seems reasonably priced considering the property’s location in Maidencombe, its modern condition and features (including the private terrace and access to communal amenities). However, a lack of precise square footage for nearby comparable properties makes a true price per square foot comparison difficult and requires considering the amenities and location premium.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in excellent condition, having undergone recent modernization or refurbishment. The kitchen and bathrooms showcase high-quality finishes and modern appliances. The overall presentation suggests meticulous upkeep and a high standard of maintenance.

The property is situated in Maidencombe, a desirable coastal area of Torbay, Devon. Proximity to good schools (Mayfield School, Combe Pafford School, within 1km) and relatively close proximity to train stations (Torre, Torquay within 4km) enhances its desirability. However, the relative isolation of Maidencombe compared to the town centre may detract from the score for some buyers.

While the property benefits from a private terrace and access to communal gardens and a swimming pool, the actual plot size is minimal, which is typical of apartments. The shared outdoor spaces are attractive but don’t equate to a large private garden.
