Over‑60s can buy a lifetime lease share in this four-bedroom Victorian terrace in central Torquay.
Four bedrooms over multiple floors, flexible room use
A traditional Victorian terraced house arranged over multiple floors, offering four bedrooms and versatile living space in central Torquay. The property sits on a small plot with a bay window and period brick façade, retaining character features alongside more modern interior touches in the living room. Its overall size is modest at about 920 sq ft, suitable for those wanting room for guests or a home office rather than large garden space.
This home is being marketed with the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60 and over — the guide Lifetime Lease price shown is £201,000 (typical saving around 33% against the £300,000 market value). The plan lets eligible purchasers buy up to a 50% share of the property value to protect funds for the future; the actual price depends on age and circumstances. If not eligible or if you prefer full ownership, the full market price is available.
Practical considerations: the house is in a very deprived area which may affect services and resale; the plot and overall footprint are small and there is only one bathroom. Tenure and service/maintenance liabilities are not confirmed here and must be checked by your solicitor. The property is described as suitable as a retirement home but buyers should verify all measurements, consents and appliance conditions before proceeding.
Well placed for local amenities, buses and nearby schools, this terrace will suit an over‑60 buyer seeking period character and flexible living space with financial planning benefits from the Lifetime Lease scheme. It offers scope to personalise and modernise while benefiting from a central Torquay location and good broadband/mobile connectivity.
