Tucked into Plainmoor, this early 20th‑century mid‑terrace blends intact period detail with practical family living. The house offers generous principal rooms — separate lounge and dining room — plus a long kitchen/breakfast room and three bedrooms, including a loft room with ensuite WC. Original features such as picture rails, coving and cast‑iron fireplaces give the house strong character and curb appeal.
Practical daily comforts include mains gas central heating (Worcester boiler), double glazing, FTTP broadband and an Energy Performance rating of C. The property sits on a small, low‑maintenance front plot and a sunny, enclosed rear garden. Local shops at Plainmoor and Torquay town centre are within walking distance, and nearby schools mostly have Good Ofsted ratings, making this suited to families.
Buyers should note the walls are cavity as built and assumed to lack insulation, which may affect running costs and could require retrofit insulation work. Parking is on‑street only. The area scores as deprived in local indices — consider this for long‑term resale — though crime is low and flood risk is nil. A building control completion certificate was issued in 2007 for relevant works to the property.
Overall, this freehold mid‑terrace is a characterful, well‑proportioned family home with sensible modern upgrades already in place and straightforward potential for further efficiency improvements. It will suit buyers seeking period detail near town amenities and good broadband, who are comfortable managing modest retrofit tasks and on‑street parking.
