This Victorian mid-terrace on Shirburn Road offers practical three-bedroom living with a large rear garden and close proximity to Torquay town centre. The house retains period stone character externally and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, making it comfortable straightaway while still offering scope to personalise.
Internally the layout is traditional with a lounge, dining room, kitchen, downstairs shower room and three bedrooms upstairs. Room sizes are small-to-medium across a compact 666 sq ft footprint, so the house suits first-time buyers, couples or investors seeking rental potential rather than those needing generous living space.
The property does require some modernisation: kitchen appliances and finishes are dated and the interior would benefit from cosmetic updating. The plot is small at the front with a larger rear garden that is a clear asset for outdoor use and future extension subject to consents.
Important sale terms: the property is offered by Modern Auction with an undisclosed reserve and buyer fees (including a non-refundable reservation fee). Buyers must complete due diligence and be prepared for auction timeframes and additional costs. This is a sensible purchase for buyers who understand auction purchasing and want a period terrace to renovate or rent out.
