Summary - Flat 2, Castle Chambers, 147 Union Street TQ1 4BT
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Spacious period flat with parking and strong rental potential near Torquay centre.
Two double bedrooms with master en‑suite and large living space
A spacious two-bedroom apartment set within the striking Grade II listed Castle Chambers, moments from Torquay town centre and strong transport links to Paignton, Brixham and Newton Abbot. The conversion retains period features—high ceilings and large sash windows—while offering modern comforts such as an en‑suite to the master and gated allocated parking. Sold chain‑free, the property is presented as a generous first‑floor home with excellent rental potential given the town-centre location and nearby amenities.
Important practical points are straightforward: the building is listed, so any alterations will need listed‑building consent and may complicate refurbishment. The flat is leasehold and sits in a neighbourhood with very high crime and significant area deprivation; prospective buyers should factor in management, security and potential voids if considering buy‑to‑let. The stone walls are likely uninsulated (original granite/whinstone construction), so thermal improvements may be limited or require specialist consent.
For an investor this apartment offers clear value drivers — central location, large internal footprint (approx. 1,281 sq ft), two double bedrooms, and allocated gated parking — but also material constraints: listed status, leasehold tenure, and challenging local socio‑economic indicators. For a homeowner seeking character in town, this is a rare, characterful home that will reward sensitive updating but will require acceptance of the listed building restrictions and local area realities.
Viewings are recommended for buyers who understand the listed‑building process and are comfortable with an inner‑city rental market; the property is best suited to those looking for a character investment or a period apartment with scope for thoughtful improvement.
