Period character, flexible living spaces and renovation potential in Chelston, Torquay..
- Three bedrooms: two doubles and one single
This traditional three-bedroom mid-terraced home in Chelston offers a well-proportioned living layout and period character at an accessible price. The bay-windowed lounge, separate dining room and flexible garden room create clear living and work-from-home options; two double bedrooms plus a single suit a growing household or rental layout. Low-maintenance front and rear gardens add outdoor space without onerous upkeep.
Practical features include double glazing, mains gas central heating and a private freehold title. The property’s compact overall footprint and solid-brick, pre-1930 construction mean scope for cosmetic updating and energy-efficiency improvements (EPC E; walls likely uninsulated). For buyers prepared to refresh fixtures and finishes, there’s clear potential to add value.
Notable points to consider: the house is small for a three-bedroom and has a single bathroom, so families should assess day-to-day practicality. The wider area is relatively deprived and the property has an EPC rating of E; upgrading insulation and services may be needed to reduce running costs. Council Tax band is low, and mobile/broadband connectivity are strong.
This home suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a straightforward terrace in a popular Chelston location near schools, shops and transport. Viewings are recommended to judge room sizes and the extent of any renovation required.
