Summary - 63 QUINTA ROAD TORQUAY TQ1 3RL
8 bed 4 bath Terraced
Elegant Victorian with annex and private parking close to coast.
Eight bedrooms including five in main house and two-bedroom annexe
Set between Babbacombe and Wellswood, this substantial Victorian property offers generous family living with flexible multigenerational potential. The main house provides high ceilings, original cornice work, three reception rooms and a principal suite, while a fully self-contained two-bedroom annexe offers independent living or rental income opportunity. With around 3,200 sq ft, the layout suits large families, home-working households or those seeking an annex for guests.
The house has strong bones and plenty of character — sash windows, ornate cornicing, decorative panelling and multiple fireplaces — but it is not turnkey. There are signs of potential damp to address and the property will benefit from modernization in parts. The walls are as-built granite/whinstone with no known insulation, and some refurbishment will improve energy performance and comfort.
Practical benefits include a private gravel driveway with off-street parking, a tucked-away front terrace and an enclosed rear garden reached by steps. The property is freehold, on a quiet private drive with very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters and families. Note the council tax band is above average.
This is a rare, versatile period home for buyers who value space and original detail and who are prepared to invest to update and improve. The annexe expands possibilities for extended family living or letting, while the location gives easy access to coastal walks, local shops and Torquay town centre.
