A quaint two-bedroom Victorian cottage in Wellswood, within easy walking distance of Torquay town centre and seafront. Original features such as sash-style windows and an open brick fireplace give the house character and scope for a sympathetic restoration.
The accommodation is compact (approx. 603 sq ft) and arranged over two floors: lounge, kitchen/diner, bathroom and two double bedrooms. The property has mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and a small enclosed courtyard garden to the front. Chain free for a quicker move.
The house requires modernising throughout — cosmetic renewal, updated fittings and likely insulation improvements to the stone walls. There is only on-street parking and the plot is small, so outside space is limited. The surrounding area scores as very deprived with high local crime levels; buyers should factor neighbourhood conditions into their plans.
This will suit a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a renovation project to add value, or a second home close to town and the sea. The cottage’s size and required work mean it is better suited to those ready to take on upgrading rather than buyers seeking a turnkey home.
