Summary - 34, Ben Jonson Close TQ2 6BT
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Ready-to-move-in home with garden and good local schools.
Three bedrooms in a compact 756 sqft mid-terrace layout
Step onto the ladder with this tidy three-bedroom mid-terrace in Ben Jonson Close, Torquay. The property offers a ready-to-live-in kitchen, a bright lounge and a small rear garden — sensible low-maintenance features that suit a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a straightforward rental. Total floor area is compact (about 756 sqft), so living spaces are efficient rather than expansive.
The house was built in the late 1960s–1970s and has double glazing fitted before 2002 and a gas boiler with radiator heating. Broadband speeds are reported fast and council tax is low, both practical benefits for everyday living and rental appeal. Local schools include two grammar schools and several well-rated primaries, making the location attractive to families with older children.
There are some clear considerations to factor in. The neighbourhood is in a very deprived area with above-average crime, which affects desirability and may influence resale or lettings. Wall construction is cavity without added insulation (assumed), and the glazing is older — both likely to reduce energy efficiency and could need upgrade work. Tenure is not specified, which should be confirmed early as it can affect mortgage eligibility.
Overall, this is a compact, well-presented terraced home with immediate usability and modest running costs. It suits a buyer wanting an affordable, manageable property to live in or let, with straightforward scope for energy improvements and cosmetic personalisation to add value.
