A substantial Victorian semi-detached building in central Torquay, offered freehold with scope for commercial or residential use. The property currently benefits from C1 guest house consent with the seller planning to convert to C3 residential before exchange unless the buyer prefers to retain C1. It sits within walking distance of the harbour, beaches and town centre, and includes a sizable rear car park and terrace.
Internally the layout is generous: multiple reception rooms, a large kitchen (a new luxury kitchen has been purchased and is included), four first-floor bedrooms with en suites and additional lower-ground rooms with en suite facilities and separate access. The plot provides practical parking for around four vehicles and space to create a garage or workshop, adding flexibility for future use or rental income.
The whole property requires full refurbishment and shows signs of wear — peeling paint, damp and mould in places — so buyers should budget for comprehensive works and services testing. No testing of fixtures, fittings or services has been carried out. The location is in a very deprived area with very high local crime levels, which will affect some buyer groups and rental values despite excellent transport links and nearby schools.
This is a value-driven opportunity for an investor or developer comfortable with renovation and planning change. With planning flexibility, off-street parking and a central Torquay address, the building offers scope to create multiple residential units or a high-quality large home once refurbished.
