This three-bedroom mid-20th-century terraced house on Avon Road offers an accessible entry into Torquay’s residential market. The bay-fronted lounge and rear kitchen/diner provide practical living space for a first-time buyer or investor seeking reliable rental income. The property is freehold and located within walking distance of highly regarded grammar schools, local shops and regular bus routes, with the town centre and seafront a short drive away.
The home sits on a small plot with a raised front garden and a private rear lawn with two storage sheds. Two double bedrooms include built-in storage and a third single bedroom suits a child, home office or rental-room. Gas central heating, double glazing and a D-rated EPC are in place, but parts of the house show dated fittings and will benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise value.
There is sensible scope to add value through modernisation and possible rear extension (subject to planning). The property’s modest size and small plot factor into appeal and resale positioning; buyers seeking a larger family footprint should note the limited overall floor area. For investors, the combination of location, school catchment and straightforward layout makes this a practical letting prospect.
Important practical points: the house is in a generally comfortable neighbourhood with low crime and excellent mobile/broadband connectivity, but the wider area shows some economic deprivation. Viewings are recommended to assess condition and the potential uplift from improvements.
