Spacious period villa with self-contained annex and private terrace, close to Torquay amenities..
Detached late-Victorian villa with five bedrooms and annex
A handsome late-Victorian detached villa, this property combines period character with adaptable living space. High ceilings, tall sash windows and three reception rooms create bright, flexible family accommodation; the Rennie Mackintosh–inspired kitchen and sunroom open onto a terrace and private courtyard for outdoor living. A self-contained one-bedroom annex with kitchenette and en-suite on the ground floor provides independent guest or rental accommodation.
Practical space is boosted by a substantial lower-ground basement and separate laundry room, while the plot’s mature planting and walled boundaries offer good privacy. The house is Freehold and sits close to Torquay town centre, transport links and a mix of schools including two grammar schools rated highly.
Notable positives: strong natural light, private landscaped terrace, sizeable internal footprint and annex potential for income or extended family use. Important considerations: the garden footprint is modest and neighbouring structures and retaining walls limit scope for large external extensions. The area records very high crime levels and ranks as very deprived, which may concern some buyers.
The interior would reward targeted updating to maximise value and comfort. Broadband options are wide-ranging (standard to ultrafast available), council tax band D. This home suits a family seeking character and flexible accommodation, or buyers open to modest modernisation and annex rental opportunities.
