Summary - 3 COLLATON MEWS PAIGNTON TQ4 7LL
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming two-bed courtyard home with period beams and low-maintenance garden.
Grade II listed barn conversion — restrictions on alterations and repairs
A characterful two-bedroom mid-terrace barn conversion in Collaton Mews, offering open-plan living, exposed beams and a peaceful cobbled courtyard with fountain. The property combines period features and modern comforts such as double glazing (unknown install date), mains gas central heating and an attached garage with a very small garden — ideal for buyers seeking character with low-external-maintenance outdoor space.
Important practical points: the building is Grade II listed, which preserves attractive historic detail but will restrict alterations and can complicate repairs and improvements. External walls are sandstone/limestone with no known insulation, so upgrading thermal performance would need listed-building consent and could be costly. The plot is very small and the setting is in a relatively deprived area of Paignton, although local crime levels are average and mobile and broadband connectivity are good.
This home suits a first-time buyer or couple who value character, light and a low-maintenance courtyard, and who accept the constraints of a listed building. Nearby primary and secondary schools are rated Good (with several in the top 10% locally), and the property is freehold with affordable council tax. For buyers willing to work within conservation rules, the house offers a rare combination of rustic charm and practical modern systems in a convenient town location.
Material negatives are clear: listed status will cause difficulties for alterations, external walls lack insulation (assumed), plot size is very small, and the location sits within an area classed as deprived. These factors affect running costs, renovation scope and potential resale strategy and should be considered before viewing or offering.
