This extended three-bedroom semi-detached home on a quiet Torquay road offers generous living space and clear potential for a modern renovation. The lounge and dining rooms create an open, flexible ground-floor layout, while the large first-floor bathroom and practical kitchen provide a solid base for upgrading. The property benefits from a detached garage with power and remote-controlled access, low-maintenance rear garden with synthetic turf, and useful additions including a Sunny Boy solar system and FTTP broadband.
The house requires modernisation throughout: kitchen, cloakroom and bathroom are dated, and the walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. Double glazing is installed but predates 2002, and the heating includes a back boiler setup — buyers should plan for possible boiler/heat system updates. Despite these works, the solid brick construction and original fittings (doors, bay window and picture rails) give scope to retain character while improving energy performance and comfort.
Location is a strong selling point for families: the property sits in an area with very low crime, good mobile signal and fast broadband, close to several ‘Good’ rated primary and secondary schools and within reach of a top-performing grammar school. Council Tax Band C and freehold tenure add financial clarity, while the quiet street and easy parking to the rear make this a practical family choice for those willing to invest in refurbishment.
Overall this is a value opportunity for a family or buyer seeking a renovation project with ready-made benefits: spacious rooms, outdoor space, garage and modern connectivity. Expect upfront works to update heating, kitchen and bathrooms and to improve insulation to maximise comfort and resale value.
