Summary - 18-28, LUCIUS STREET TQ2 5UN
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Compact storage or workshop in prime holiday area, ideal for investors.
- Freehold commercial garage, 53 m² (559 sq ft)
A compact freehold garage offering straightforward commercial space in the heart of Torquay’s principal holiday area. The single-storey brick unit (53 m² / 559 sq ft) is currently laid out as open storage or a light workshop with access from a rear service lane off Scarborough Place. Its small footprint and metal double doors make it immediately usable for local storage, trades or ancillary workshop needs.
The location is the main appeal: close to the seafront, public transport and a cluster of hotels, guesthouses and holiday lets, with nearby properties already converted to residential use. This creates potential interest from investors or developers looking to consolidate nearby plots or pursue a change-of-use to residential, subject to planning and building standards.
Buyers should note material constraints. The area scores high for deprivation and very high for crime, which may affect lettings or resale values. The property offers minimal external amenity space, basic electric room heating, assumed uninsulated sandstone/limestone walls, and dates from the 1930–49 period — likely requiring substantial upgrade works for residential conversion. Planning consent would be needed to change use, and practical redevelopment costs can be significant given the compact plot and construction type.
This is a pragmatic opportunity for an investor or developer comfortable with short-term refurbishment and the planning process, or for a local business requiring inexpensive, centrally located storage or workshop space. The modest asking price reflects both the constraints and the redevelopment upside in an active holiday-town setting.
