Chain free three-bedroom semi-detached house in Torquay
Requires full modernisation throughout; budget for upgrades
Off-street parking for 2–3 cars; large plot and decked frontage
Freehold tenure; single bathroom only
Cavity walls assumed uninsulated; energy improvements likely needed
Right of way across initial part of drive for neighbour
Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal; council tax is low
Local area has very high crime and high deprivation levels
This three-bedroom, semi-detached house sits on the outskirts of Torquay town centre within walking distance of the harbour, beaches and local amenities. The ground floor offers a large lounge/diner and kitchen, with three double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. The property benefits from off-street parking for 2–3 cars, a decked frontage and a small patio garden to the side and rear.
The house is offered chain free but requires full modernisation throughout—kitchen, bathroom and general internal finishes will need updating. The cavity walls are as-built with no added insulation (assumed) and the property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so buyers should budget for electrical, heating and potential energy-efficiency works despite an existing gas boiler and double glazing.
Notable positives include a large plot with parking, pleasant town views, freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Drawbacks to consider: the local area scores high for crime and deprivation, there is an existing right of way across the initial part of the drive for a neighbour, and the single bathroom may be limiting for larger households. Legal and planning checks are recommended for any structural changes or extensions.
This home suits a buyer looking for a renovation project near the sea—either a first-time buyer planning to modernise over time or an investor/home flipper seeking uplift potential. Its location close to schools, coastal amenities and Torquay town centre gives clear rental and resale appeal once refurbished.
