This Grade II listed Victorian mid-terrace sits in a sought-after Wellswood position, a short walk from Torquay harbourside, local shops and buses. Light, high-ceilinged rooms combine original character with a modern interior and a large sitting room featuring a cosy log burner. The house provides flexible family accommodation with four bedrooms (one on the ground floor) and three bathrooms, plus recent upgrades including a Megaflow system and Hive installed in 2022. The private rear courtyard with decking offers a low-maintenance outdoor space in a compact plot. Chain-free and freehold, the home is ready to occupy but comes with constraints and practical points to note. As a Grade II listed building with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, alterations will be restricted and upgrading thermal performance could be challenging and costly. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area; however mains gas heating, excellent mobile signal and no flood risk are positives for everyday living. The property suits buyers seeking a character-filled family home or a seaside base near Wellswood and Torquay amenities, who are comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities and potential retrofit works.
