Period charm and modernised living with basement potential and wrap-around garden.
Spacious Victorian rooms with high ceilings and original fireplaces
This Victorian semi-detached villa blends period character with recent modernisation, offering an immediately comfortable family home. High ceilings, original fireplaces, bay windows and parquet flooring preserve the house’s charm while the refurbished kitchen, bathrooms and upgraded services make it largely move-in ready.
The layout suits family living: two large reception rooms (one used as a fourth bedroom), an open-plan kitchen/dining area, a conservatory and four bedrooms upstairs. A private wrap-around garden and decent plot give safe outdoor space for children and room to enjoy. The substantial basement already has power and lighting, presenting genuine potential for conversion or extension subject to planning consent.
Buyers should note material considerations plainly. The property was constructed before 1900 in sandstone/limestone with assumed no wall insulation, which may affect running costs and could require insulation work. The surrounding area is recorded as very deprived with very high local crime rates — important for families to weigh alongside the home’s benefits. Basement conversion or conservatory enlargement will need permissions and budget.
Overall, this freehold Victorian home offers character, generous living space and extension potential at a competitive price point for Torquay. It will suit a family seeking period features with modern conveniences, and buyers prepared to invest modestly in insulation/optional improvements to maximise comfort and long-term value.
