Summary - 43 St Marychurch, Torquay TQ1 3JX
11 bed 11 bath Detached
Expansive income property with private owners’ wing close to Downs and beaches.
Eight en suite letting rooms in main villa for holiday use.
Babbacombe Hall is a substantial detached Victorian residence arranged as a successful commercial holiday villa with an adjoining private owners’ wing. The main villa provides eight en suite letting bedrooms with generous communal space; the lockable connecting owners’ wing offers three en suite bedrooms, separate kitchen/pantry, private courtyard and extensive roof terrace. Together they create a flexible live-and-work set-up ideal for an established holiday-let operator or buyer seeking a large multi-suite family home with income potential.
The site includes low-maintenance, sheltered gardens, a large car park for guests, a secondary private drive, garage and workshop. Tessier Gardens adjoins the boundary and Babbacombe Downs, beaches and the village precinct are all within easy walking distance — a strong leisure location for holiday visitors. The property lies in St Marychurch Conservation Area and benefits from mains gas heating (commercial boiler 2021) and fast broadband availability. The freehold sale includes a current EPC C (59) for the commercial element and a low council tax band on the owners’ accommodation.
Buyers should note this is an operating commercial holiday business: current trading patterns favour 7–14 night bookings with scope to increase turnover by taking shorter stays and extending seasonality. The building dates from c.1900–1929 with granite walls (assumed uninsulated) and double glazing of unknown installation date — buyers should expect typical maintenance and energy-improvement works for a period property of this size. The wider area records high levels of deprivation, which may influence local demand outside peak holiday months.
This property suits purchasers seeking a ready-made holiday-let business with private owners’ accommodation, or a buyer requiring a large multi-bedroom residence in a prime Torquay location. Financial, planning and operating enquiries (business rates, lettings licence and conservation constraints) should be undertaken as part of any purchase decision.
