Summary - 164 FOREST ROAD TORQUAY TQ1 4JZ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Light-filled extended house with loft planning permission, garage and double driveway.
Striking open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with tri-fold doors
This late-Victorian semi-detached house blends period character with a sympathetic modern extension, creating a comfortable family layout across generous rooms. The showpiece is a striking open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with tri-fold doors and roof lantern that open onto a natural stone-walled garden and terrace. A sheltered garden room with log burner and fitted bar extends living space for year-round entertaining.
Practical benefits include three double bedrooms, substantial underfloor storage, a separate utility, garage with loft storage and a double-width driveway. Planning permission is already granted for a single-storey glazed extension, driveway alterations and a loft conversion to form a principal bedroom suite, offering clear scope to increase space and value. Nearby schools, shops and transport links make day-to-day life straightforward while Torbay’s beaches and Dartmoor are within easy reach.
Be realistic about running costs: the solid-brick Victorian construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation and the property carries an EPC D (65), so energy upgrades could be needed. There is a single family bathroom only, and buyers seeking immediate low-energy performance should budget for insulation or glazing improvements. Council Tax band D and no flood risk reflect typical urban convenience but also ongoing local service costs.
Overall this is a large, characterful family home presented to a high standard with genuine upside from the approved loft conversion. It will suit buyers who value period features, flexible entertaining spaces and who are willing to invest modestly in energy improvements to maximise comfort and long-term value.
