A substantial six-bedroom detached residence offering generous accommodation across three levels. The house sits on a large, elevated plot with private front and rear gardens, driveway parking for multiple cars and practical three-phase electric already installed — a genuine strength for conversion or commercial uses, subject to planning.
Internally the layout provides flexibility: five reception rooms, up to five bathrooms and multiple kitchen/annexe areas that could suit a large family, multi-generational living or subdivision into separate dwellings. Many rooms are light and well proportioned, with some contemporary wet-room finishes visible alongside original period character.
Buyers should note this property is offered via Modern Auction with an undisclosed reserve price. A non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) and additional buyer costs apply; bidders must complete purchase within 56 days and carry out their own due diligence. Planning permission for conversion is not granted — any change of use would require formal consents.
The house appears to need some internal refurbishment and garden maintenance; walls are likely solid brick with no built-in insulation (assumed) and council tax is described as quite expensive. For investors or owner-occupiers willing to manage works and auction costs, the scale, location near the seafront and three-phase supply create a rare opportunity in this part of Torquay.
