Step inside this recently renovated two-bedroom mid-terrace on Union Street, a compact freehold home offered chain-free and ready to move into. The ground floor’s open-plan kitchen and living area feels bright and modern, with integrated appliances and contemporary finishes that suit a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance starter property. Gas central heating and double glazing provide everyday comfort, while the small footprint keeps running costs modest.
The first-floor layout includes a generous main bedroom, a smaller second bedroom suitable for a child or home office, and a refitted bathroom with a walk-in shower. Neutral décor and light flooring create a feeling of space despite the overall small size (circa 577 sq ft). Council tax is very cheap, which helps affordability alongside the guide price of £160,000–£170,000.
Location is a clear strength for buyers who want quick access to Torquay town centre, local shops, cafes and public transport. The property is within reach of a number of well-regarded schools and coastal attractions, making it practical for daily life and weekend leisure. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support home working and streaming.
Buyers should note material local drawbacks: the wider area is classified as very deprived with a very high crime rate, and the original granite walls are assumed to lack insulation. The plot and overall house size are small, which limits extension potential. Despite the modern presentation, confirm double-glazing install dates and any guarantees for recent works before committing.
