This three-bedroom semi-detached house in TQ1 offers strong project potential a short walk from Torquay Harbour. Set on a small plot with off-street parking and a paved private courtyard, the layout includes a double-aspect lounge, L-shaped kitchen-diner and one upstairs bathroom plus a ground-floor bathroom — all ready for modernisation.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating, FTTP broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property’s footprint (approximately 980 sq ft) and simple traditional layout suit a range of buyers: builders, renovators, and investors seeking a town-centre location close to amenities and transport.
Notable drawbacks are material and cosmetic: the home needs renovation throughout (dated kitchen, older bathrooms, double glazing installed pre-2002) and lies in a very deprived area with higher-than-average crime. The plot is small and there is only one full bathroom, limiting instant family comfort.
For the right buyer this is a clear value proposition — a competitively priced, freehold project close to schools, shops and the harbour. Be prepared to budget for refurbishment and consider security and neighbourhood measures when calculating long-term plans.
