Set on the periphery of Torquay town centre, this Victorian end-of-terrace home offers spacious traditional rooms, a westerly aspect and open views over Ellacombe Park. The ground floor has two reception rooms and a kitchen; the first floor provides three bedrooms and a bathroom with a period roll-top bath. The property has been in one family for around 50 years and is offered for sale reflecting the need for modernisation throughout.
The plot includes a compact front lawn, courtyard with outbuilding and tiered rear garden offering landscaping or extension potential (subject to consents). Practical extras include gas central heating, double glazing (pre-2002) and a billboard income of approximately £1,000 per year. Parking is by resident permit on-street.
Important considerations: the house requires renovation and external repairs have been noted, including roof work. Walls are likely uninsulated (original granite/whinstone construction), and the property carries an EPC D (64). The area records higher crime levels and is classified as very deprived; buyers should factor potential security and investment considerations into plans.
This home will suit buyers looking for a character property to modernise — families wanting proximity to local schools and parkland, or investors seeking refurbishment potential in a well-connected coastal town. Its position close to Torquay amenities, transport links and green space gives scope to create a comfortable, improved home or a rental asset once upgraded.
