Summary - 1 Scarborough Road TQ2 5UJ
5 bed 3 bath Terraced
Five double bedrooms, three with ensuite bathrooms
Set in Torquay’s TQ2 postcode, this five-bedroom Grade II listed Victorian terrace blends period character with recent, high-spec updates. The house has been comprehensively refurbished with a brand-new kitchen, bathroom and utility, new boiler and consumer unit (2022), new flooring and redecoration throughout — ready for immediate occupation or short-term let operation.
Generous proportions and flexible layout are clear strengths: two reception rooms, five double bedrooms (three with ensuite) and a footprint of about 1,733 sq ft suit group or family bookings and multi-occupancy rentals. The property is a short walk from Torquay harbourside and seafront, a prime location driver for holiday lets and seasonal demand.
There are material considerations buyers must accept. Listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate conversion or extension plans. The surrounding area scores as very deprived with very high local crime rates—factors that affect long-term tenant mix, security measures and insurance costs. Outside space is minimal (small plot/concrete area with new pergola), so outdoor amenity is limited.
Overall this is a tastefully modernised period property with strong rental and holiday-let potential thanks to size and location. Its legal and contextual constraints—listed building status, local deprivation and crime—mean it will suit investors or buyers who value coastal proximity and character, and who can manage conservation requirements and enhanced security/management needs.
