A substantial five-bedroom semi-detached house with a self-contained one-bedroom garden flat occupies a sizeable corner plot between Warbro Road and Devons Road in Torquay. The main house is described as a derelict/fixer-upper Victorian property offering scope for refurbishment, redevelopment or conversion to deliver significant value uplift. The garden flat is currently let on a rolling assured shorthold tenancy at £300 pcm (£3,600 pa), providing immediate rental income.
The property is offered for sale by public auction on 11 December 2025 with a guide price from £135,000+. It will be sold freehold and “as seen”; buyers must be prepared to commission any required surveys and carry out renovation works. EPC ratings are listed as TBC for both units and the property has only one bathroom for the five-bedroom house.
Notable legal and practical considerations include an ongoing dispute over a boundary wall with the adjoining annexe — prospective purchasers must make and rely on their own legal enquiries. Parking is on-street only; the plot has a lawned garden. The location benefits from low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and is close to Torquay’s amenities and beaches, appealing to landlords or developers targeting seaside town demand.
