- Freehold mid-terrace with gated rear courtyard and off-street parking space
- Double glazing fitted post-2002; mains gas boiler and radiators

- Granite/whinstone walls assumed uninsulated — energy improvements required
- Area: very deprived with very high local crime rates; affects resale/letting
A substantial six-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace with strong space and character across three storeys and attic dormers. High ceilings, large windows and original features give generous, flexible accommodation that suits a large family or an investor planning an HMO conversion (subject to necessary consents).
Practical positives include five bathrooms, double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a gated rear courtyard providing private off-street parking. The property is freehold and sits within walking distance of Torquay town centre, train station and several well-regarded schools.
Be clear about work and location realities. The area is classified as very deprived with very high local crime rates; this will affect resale and lettability in some market segments. The building is of granite/whinstone construction with no assumed wall insulation and there are signs of historic damp in places — updating to modern energy and damp standards is likely required. The rear garden/plot is small and parking is limited to the courtyard.
This is a value-led purchase for buyers who want space and period character and who are prepared to invest in refurbishment, energy upgrades and security improvements. For a family it delivers room and proximity to amenities; for an investor it offers HMO potential but factor in consent, safety and remediation costs.
