Summary - 14 BAMPFYLDE ROAD TORQUAY TQ2 5AR
6 bed 5 bath Terraced
Spacious Victorian property with conversion upside near Torquay station and schools.
Six bedrooms and five bathrooms across three storeys plus attic dormers
A substantial six-bedroom, five-bathroom Victorian mid-terrace on Bampfylde Road offering strong rental and conversion potential in central Torquay. The property is freehold, arranged over three storeys plus attic dormers, and retains period features including high ceilings, large windows and original fireplaces that appeal to tenants and buyers seeking character. Practical positives include off-street parking, a private rear courtyard and reliable mains gas heating.
This house is well suited to an investor planning a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) or a landlord seeking immediate large-bedroom accommodation; conversion would require the usual local consents. It also represents scope for a family wanting generous room sizes and separate reception areas, with good access to Torquay train station, local schools (including two grammar schools nearby) and the seafront.
Buyers should be aware of several material drawbacks to factor into budget and timelines. The surrounding area scores high for deprivation and recorded crime rates are very high, which can affect tenant demand and insurance costs. The building’s stone walls are assumed to be without insulation and images note possible damp in parts of the living room — further surveys are recommended. The rear outside space and plot are small, so outdoor amenity is limited.
Overall this is a character-rich, centrally positioned property with clear upside for rental income or an HMO conversion, but it requires practical upgrades (insulation, potential damp remediation and general updating) and a sensitive approach given local area indicators.
