- Opposite Crownhill Park, great for families and outdoor space
- Four bedrooms plus converted loft, flexible family layout
- Requires renovation; visible damp damage in living area
- Single shower room; may need an additional bathroom
- Solid brick walls with no known insulation (energy upgrades needed)
- Mains gas boiler and radiators; double glazing, install date unknown
- Small raised front garden; decent plot for a terraced property

Set directly opposite Crownhill Park, this late‑Victorian mid‑terrace offers flexible family accommodation across three levels, including a converted loft room. High ceilings, a prominent bay window and original period features give the house character and scope to create comfortable bedrooms and generous living space.
The property requires light-to-medium renovation: there is visible damp damage in parts, and the layout and finishes would benefit from updating (kitchen and bathroom likely dated). Built of solid brick with no known insulation, energy performance will improve with modern insulation and targeted works. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed but installation date is unknown.
Practical positives include a small raised front garden, a decent overall plot for a terraced town home and fast broadband — useful for home working. The location suits families: shops, transport links, good secondary schools and the seafront are nearby, while the park opposite provides safe outdoor space for children.
This home suits a family wanting a characterful house they can personalise or an investor seeking a refurbishment project in Torquay’s rental/holiday market. Budget for remediation of damp, possible insulation upgrades and modernisation of kitchen and bathroom when assessing purchase cost.
