Summary - IRELAND HOUSE BEDFORD ROAD TORQUAY TQ1 3LJ
3 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Victorian three-bed with sea views and private courtyard, chain free.
Stunning sea views from two front bedrooms and kitchen
Set in the heart of Babbacombe, this three-bedroom Victorian end-terrace enjoys striking sea views over Lyme Bay and the Babbacombe Downs. The dual-aspect kitchen and two front bedrooms make the most of the outlook, while two reception rooms give flexible family living space. Offered chain-free on a freehold title, the home is ready to move into for buyers seeking a coastal location close to beaches, the Cliff Railway and local shops.
The property combines period character — stucco façade, sash windows, picture rails — with practical modern comforts such as mains gas central heating, double glazing and two shower rooms. A private rear courtyard is a sunny, low-maintenance outdoor space with storage sheds, suitable for potted plants and seating rather than extensive gardening. Rooms are an average to good size across c.1,021 sq ft, making this a practical family or holiday home.
Buyers should be aware this is an older granite-built house (pre-1900) with assumed limited wall insulation; improvements such as cavity/solid-wall insulation or energy upgrades could be required to reduce running costs. The plot is small and the courtyard is mostly paved. The wider area is classified as ageing urban communities with higher local deprivation indicators and average crime and mobile signal levels — factors to consider for long-term investment or resale strategy.
In short, this is a characterful, freehold, chain-free home in a sought-after seaside pocket of Torquay that will suit families or buyers who prioritise views and location. It offers immediate coastal living with clear potential for targeted energy and cosmetic improvements to increase comfort and value.
