Versatile family house near Downs, shops and coastal attractions.
End-of-terrace Victorian character with front bay window
This well-presented four-bedroom period end-of-terrace sits in Babbacombe, a popular Torquay neighbourhood close to shops, schools and Babbacombe Downs. The house combines Victorian character — a front bay, feature fireplaces and a loft conversion — with practical updates such as a modern kitchen, double glazing and a low-maintenance rear garden with gated access to a service lane.
Ground-floor living is flexible: a comfortable sitting room, dining room and a fourth bedroom/office with an adjacent cloakroom suit families, home workers or those wanting rental potential. Upstairs provides three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the loft conversion offers additional living space with Velux windows and eaves storage.
Practical details are straightforward: Freehold tenure, modest overall size (about 1,097 sq ft), council tax band C, and good mobile and broadband availability. The rear gate leads to a lane that could allow off-street parking subject to permissions, a valuable local advantage where on-street parking is the norm.
Buyers should note some material points to check: the EPC rating is D (65), the property’s walls are likely uninsulated solid brick (as-built), and there is mixed information about heating (an installed gas boiler is mentioned, yet records also list electric storage heaters). These are realistic items to address now or in future improvements that would also increase energy efficiency.
