Set above a Victorian terrace on Tor Hill Road, this compact first‑floor flat offers an affordable entry into Torquay with ready-to-move-in presentation and no onward chain. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a large reception room with generous natural light, and a modern fitted kitchen — all within a small 517 sq ft footprint suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Practical positives include recent double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, low Council Tax (Band A), and a location close to public transport and local amenities. The area has a strong demand for rental accommodation, particularly from students and young professionals, which supports investment potential at the asking price.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property is leasehold; heating relies on electric storage and room heaters; the original sandstone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated; and the surrounding neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with a very high local crime rate. There is no clear private outdoor space and the building sits within a mixed commercial/residential terrace, which may bring daytime activity and noise.
This flat suits a buyer seeking an economical starter home or an investor wanting a low-price purchase to refurbish sensibly (insulation and heating upgrades recommended). Viewings will help assess exact scope for improvement and confirm the lease details and service arrangements.
