Period family home with annexe and south-facing garden, short walk to beach.
Four-bedroom main house plus one-bedroom self-contained annexe (renovated 2019)
A rare Victorian semi offering flexible living: a four-bedroom main house plus a one-bedroom self-contained annexe, ideal for multigenerational use or rental income. Elegant reception rooms retain period character and high ceilings, while modern conveniences include double glazing and a 2019-updated annexe with open-plan living and a contemporary shower room.
Externally the property excels: a private, level south-facing rear garden provides sun and outdoor living space, and a large driveway accommodates up to four vehicles. A versatile garden chalet stands ready for conversion into a studio, home office, gym or additional ancillary accommodation (subject to consents).
Buyers should note material facts clearly: the house dates from before 1900 with granite/whinstone walls likely without insulation, so thermal upgrades may be required. There is a medium flood risk in the area and Council Tax Band E, both of which affect running costs and insurance. The neighbourhood shows signs of local deprivation despite excellent transport links and nearby schools.
Positioned a short, level walk from Torre Abbey, the seafront, marina and local amenities, the location suits families seeking coastal life and commuters using Torquay station. Investors will appreciate the annexe and conversion potential, while purchasers seeking a period family home should budget for energy-efficiency and possible renovation works.
