A substantial three-storey former RAFA club in central Torquay offering c.221 sq m (2,380 sq ft) of versatile floor space and vacant possession. The Victorian terraced building has generous windows, high ceilings and a large ground-floor bar/lounge — ideal for conversion to multiple residential units, a boutique guesthouse, or alternative commercial uses subject to consent. Mains electricity, gas, water and drainage are connected, though no testing has been carried out.
The location is exceptionally central: a one-minute walk from the town centre and seafront, close to Torquay’s busy Belgravia district and local transport links. That centrality underpins rental or tourist-demand potential, especially for short-stay accommodation or mixed-use redevelopment. The property is freehold with a small plot footprint, sold with vacant possession.
Buyers should note clear downside factors: the building requires renovation and modernisation throughout, services untested, and the surrounding area scores high for crime and deprivation. The plot is compact, limiting extensive exterior expansion. For the right investor or developer, the low guide price reflects the need for works and regulatory input, presenting an opportunity to add significant value through refurbishment or a change of use.
