This compact three-bedroom terraced house in Sherwell Rise South presents a sensible, affordable entry onto the Torquay market. The property is freehold, with mains gas central heating, double glazing fitted post-2002 and fast broadband — practical features for day-to-day living and working from home.
Accommodation is well proportioned for a starter family: a good-sized lounge with large windows, a standard dining area, and three bedrooms across two storeys. The small front and narrow rear gardens provide outdoor space that is low-maintenance and suitable for light planting or a seating area.
Notable positives include very low local crime, nearby good and outstanding schools, and a cheap council tax band. There is no flooding risk and the house benefits from typical mid-20th-century character and natural light in principal rooms.
Buyers should note the property’s modest overall size and small plot, and that the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated — upgrading insulation could be beneficial. There is a single bathroom for three bedrooms and some rooms and fittings are dated, so modest refurbishment would add value and comfort. This home suits first-time buyers or small families looking for a manageable project in a convenient Torquay location.
