Tucked into a quiet corner of Babbacombe, this one-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage offers genuine period character and convenient access to the Downs and local amenities. The home sits at the end of a short terrace, includes off-street parking, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working or streaming.
Internally the layout is compact but practical for an individual or couple. The property has double glazing, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and a modest side garden/patio. The long-standing single ownership means many original features remain, giving scope to personalise and add value through targeted refurbishment.
There are important practical considerations: the walls are original granite/whinstone and are assumed uninsulated, so thermal upgrades would improve comfort and running costs. Some rooms show dated fittings and decor and will need modernisation to reach contemporary standards. Tenure is not confirmed and should be checked, although council tax is described as cheap and there is no flood risk.
Overall this cottage will suit a first-time buyer or investor looking for a small, characterful property in a popular Torquay neighbourhood. It promises location, basic services, and clear potential for improvement rather than a fully turn-key finish.
