This substantial four-bedroom Victorian semi delivers flexible family living with a self-contained one-bedroom lower-ground annexe ideal for guests, multi-generational households or rental income. The house has been newly renovated throughout with contemporary kitchen/diner, double glazing and gas central heating, yet retains character features such as high ceilings and picture rails. Bi-fold doors and Velux windows bring light to the living spaces and a paved garden creates an easy, low-maintenance outdoor area.
The lower-ground annexe is accessed separately and includes its own lounge, kitchen, double bedroom and shower room, offering genuine ancillary income potential or independent accommodation for relatives. Off-street parking for multiple vehicles and a raised site with mature planting enhance kerb appeal while the property’s size and loft room provide room to grow.
Buyers should note important negatives: the property sits in an area with very high crime and very high deprivation levels, and there are restrictive covenants affecting the title. The external stone walls are likely uninsulated and the home dates from before 1900, so some older-construction maintenance or upgrading may be required over time despite the recent renovation.
Located in Chelston, Avenue Road is within walking distance of Torquay seafront, local shops and well-regarded schools, and benefits from excellent mobile and fast broadband speeds. Council Tax Band D and freehold tenure add certainty. This home will suit growing families seeking space near the sea or buyers looking for a live-and-let arrangement with immediate annexe use.
