Summary - 4 Coastguard Cottages, Daddyhole Plain TQ1 2EG
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Proven holiday and rental income in a sunny seaside spot close to Meadfoot Beach.
Panoramic sea views over Daddyhole Plain toward Tor Bay
Set on Daddyhole Plain with sweeping sea views across Tor Bay, this two-bedroom former coastguard cottage combines character, coastal position and proven rental appeal. The principal bedroom’s twin arched windows capture the best of the outlook while the front sitting room and kitchen both face the sea. A southerly paved terrace provides easy, low-maintenance outdoor space.
Owned and holiday-let by the current owners for around 20 years, the cottage has an established track record of occupancy for short-term holiday lets and assured shorthold tenancies — a clear draw for buy-to-let buyers. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C (70), making it economical to run compared with many older coastal homes.
Practicalities to note: the cottage sits within a terrace of former coastguard cottages and includes areas of flying freehold. A stone outbuilding in the rear courtyard (shared division with the neighbouring cottage) provides useful storage but there is limited private external space and parking is unrestricted on-street. There is a stepped approach into the home, and the building dates from before 1900 with granite walls (no assumed insulation) — buyers wanting a modernised specification may wish to plan upgrades.
This is a straightforward purchase for investors seeking an income-generating coastal property or for buyers wanting a character seaside home close to Meadfoot Beach and Torquay’s harbour amenities. The linking doors to the neighbouring cottage will be professionally blocked unless both properties are bought together, preserving independent ownership if desired.
