Summary - Ashley, Old Mill Road TQ2 6HJ
4 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious family house with annexe, garden and easy access to station and seafront.
Four bedrooms plus lower-ground annexe/additional living space
A spacious four-bedroom semi-detached family home in Chelston, Torquay, that blends Victorian character with contemporary finishes. The property sits on a generous corner plot with a private south-west facing garden, summer house/garden room and useful lockable storage with electrics — ideal for family entertaining or a home office. Internally the house offers a formal lounge, large open-plan kitchen/diner and a versatile lower-ground annexe/living space that could suit an older child, elderly relative or be adapted for income (subject to permissions).
Practical details suit everyday family life: three bathrooms across the layout, double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and around 1,314 sq ft of accommodation over three levels. The location is convenient — approximately a 5-minute walk to Torquay train station, about 10 minutes to the seafront and close to local shops, bus routes and green space at Cockington Country Park.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The property dates from the early 20th century with solid brick construction and assumed no cavity insulation — fabric upgrades may be needed to improve thermal performance. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the wider neighbourhood shows above-average crime levels and local area deprivation; these factors are worth factoring into insurance, security and renovation budgets. Separating the lower-ground annexe for rental would require the usual consents and checks.
Overall this is a roomy, well-presented family house with flexible accommodation and genuine scope to adapt or add value, particularly for households seeking extra living space close to transport and the seafront.
