This compact three-bedroom terraced house in TQ2 offers an affordable entry into Torquay’s residential market, priced at £240,000. The property is freehold and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and a gravelled driveway providing off-street parking. Local shops, good primary schools and bus routes are within easy reach, making day-to-day life convenient for a young family or first-time buyer.
The layout is conventional: lounge to the front, kitchen/dining and utility at the rear, and three bedrooms upstairs served by a single wet room. The house is modest in overall size (about 688 sq ft) and appears best suited to buyers prepared to modernise. The mid-terrace period facade and bay window give some character, but the property would benefit from cosmetic updating throughout.
There are practical considerations: cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), which may affect running costs and energy efficiency, and some refurbishment works are likely to bring the house up to contemporary standards. With very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, the location supports everyday living and potential rental demand for investors.
Overall, this is a straightforward, affordable town property with scope to improve value through upgrading and insulating. It will appeal most to first-time buyers looking for a manageable project or investors seeking a mid-sized rental in a well-connected Torquay neighbourhood.
