This Victorian mid-terrace offers deceptive, multi-level living ideal for growing families seeking space close to schools and local amenities. The sitting room, modern kitchen/breakfast room and a lower-level games/utility area provide flexible living across three principal floors, while a loft room adds further scope.
Practical positives include double glazing, a 2015 roof, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. The enclosed, low-maintenance garden is easy to manage and has gated rear access with potential (subject to consents) to create parking from the service lane.
Notable considerations: the plot is small and the property sits in an area with higher deprivation; any formal loft conversion or use of the rear lane for parking will require planning/consent. The house has no assumed wall insulation and the basement/utility level is partially below ground, so buyers should check for damp and ordering surveys where needed. There is a single main bathroom and an additional cloakroom-style WC in the loft area.
Located within walking distance of several ‘Good’ primary and secondary schools, Torquay Coach Station and local shops, the house suits families wanting convenient town access with coastal amenities nearby. Investors or buyers seeking renovation potential will find scope to improve value through permitted conversions and modernisation.
