Set in the heart of leafy Wellswood, this end-of-terrace town house combines Georgian character with practical, low-maintenance living. The house offers a gracious principal room, a well-equipped kitchen, three double bedrooms (one with en-suite) and an integral garage, all arranged over two storeys on a generous plot. A sunny south-westerly walled courtyard makes outdoor space easy to enjoy without extensive upkeep.
The location is a genuine strength for families: a short walk to highly regarded Ilsham Primary and several other good local schools, independent shops, a Coop, Post Office and nearby coastal walks to Meadfoot Beach and the South West Coast Path. Torquay station, local bus links and good broadband and mobile coverage mean the area is well connected for commuters and leisure travel.
Practical considerations are clear and upfront. The property was constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls and double glazing fitted after 2002; it currently has an EPC rating of E (49) so energy-efficiency improvements — such as wall insulation or heating upgrades — would likely be needed to reduce running costs. The house is in a conservation area and benefits from gas central heating, mains services and level access from the pavement and courtyard.
This freehold home will suit buyers seeking character, space and a convenient Wellswood address rather than a turnkey, high-efficiency dwelling. The garage and courtyard garden are strong lifestyle features, and the layout offers flexibility for formal and informal living while presenting sensible scope for targeted modernisation to improve comfort and energy performance.
