Summary - 46 SHIRBURN ROAD TORQUAY TQ1 3JL
5 bed 3 bath Not Specified
Versatile period home with private garden and parking for two.
Five bedrooms plus garden‑level self‑contained annexe
A spacious Victorian semi‑detached family home offering five bedrooms and flexible accommodation across roughly 1,721 sq ft. High ceilings, bay windows and period fireplaces give the house strong character, while the garden‑level annexe with its own entrance and kitchenette provides useful independent living or work‑from‑home space. The west‑facing rear garden is fully enclosed, child‑friendly and includes a large decked terrace and storage sheds. Off‑street parking for two vehicles adds practical convenience.
The property sits close to Plainmoor shops with St Marychurch and Babbacombe a short drive or bus ride away, and multiple good primary and secondary schools within easy reach. Torquay town centre, beaches and transport links to Newton Abbot and Exeter are all accessible. The home is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown).
Buyers should note the Energy Performance Certificate rating of E (52) and the property's original granite walls are likely to have limited built‑in insulation, which may mean higher heating costs and potential improvement work. The wider area has pockets of deprivation; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on local services and long‑term plans. Council Tax Band D applies.
This house will suit families seeking multigenerational living or those wanting a character home with scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise finishes. The annexe means immediate rental or self‑contained relative use is possible, while the layout and plot offer scope for modest updating rather than major reconstruction.
