Summary - 52, TRUMLANDS ROAD, TORQUAY TQ1 4RB
5 bed 3 bath Terraced
Large five-bedroom period house with garden and modernisation potential for families.
Five bedrooms and three bathrooms across generous rooms and high ceilings
Mature, private rear garden with decent plot size
Double glazing present (installed before 2002)
Mains gas boiler and radiators provide central heating
Cavity walls likely uninsulated — insulation and EPC improvements needed
Constructed circa 1930–1949; some systems may require updating
Council tax band above local average — higher running costs
Located in an ageing urban area with higher deprivation indicators
This substantial period terraced house on Trumlands Road offers generous, well-proportioned accommodation across two storeys — five bedrooms, four reception rooms and three bathrooms — suited to growing families who need space to spread out. High ceilings, large sash-style windows and original decorative details give the principal rooms the character and light expected of an older home, while a mature rear garden provides private outdoor space for children and pets.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing already installed and a decent plot size in a low-crime neighbourhood with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Local schools rated Good and a range of nearby amenities make day-to-day family life straightforward; the property sits within an ageing urban community in St Marychurch close to town facilities.
Buyers should note material issues that affect running costs and renovation scope: cavity walls appear uninsulated, the glazing dates from before 2002, and the house was constructed around the 1930s–1940s so some systems and finishes may require updating. Council tax is above average for the area and the wider locality shows higher deprivation indicators — both factors to consider for long-term costs and resale. Overall, the house suits buyers wanting a large period property with scope to modernise rather than a turnkey move-in home.
