A characterful Grade II listed home positioned in a convenient central Torquay location offering spacious accommodation, a low maintenance balcony shared driveway parking and exciting scope for a buyer to update and enhance to their own taste.
The property sits along a quieter road with unrestricted street parking nearby together with shared driveway parking. The entrance is approached through an ornate iron gate with a small courtyard style frontage laid with artificial grass, providing a simple and manageable approach to the home.
The front door opens directly into a generous sitting room a bright and well proportioned reception space with multiple windows allowing plenty of natural light. The room is finished in a warm neutral tone with the fireplace forming an attractive central feature. From the sitting room a glazed door opens directly onto the balcony creating an easy link between the main living area and outside space.
The balcony is a particularly pleasant feature designed for low maintenance use and positioned beside a mature tree with a leafy outlook and distant woodland views. It provides a peaceful space for morning coffee, outdoor dining or simply enjoying some afternoon sun.
The kitchen sits adjacent to the sitting room and offers a practical layout with plentiful cupboard storage warm wood fronted units, tile-effect flooring and ample worktop space. There is room for appliances along with a mid height electric oven, gas hob and a useful breakfast bar with seating for at least two.
A winding staircase leads down to the lower ground floor where a spacious landing provides useful flexibility. This area could work well for additional storage, a reading space, occasional seating or a compact work-from-home area, depending on the buyer’s requirements.
The main shower room is impressively sized and fitted, a combined WC and vanity unit and a large sliding door shower enclosure. The space is generous, practical and well arranged.
There are three bedrooms, all offering a good degree of versatility. The principal bedromm has a useful built in storage and enough room for further bedroom furniture. High ceilings add to the feeling of space. The second bedroom continues the same character with appealing alcoves and natural furniture positions while the third bedroom is currently arranged with a built in desk and storage beneath, making it ideal as a bedroom, guest room, hobby space or home office.
A further separate WC is positioned centrally fitted with a white WC, vanity unit, natural stone-style tiled splashback and attractive timber shelving.
The property offers clear potential for a buyer to modernise and refine while retaining the character and proportions associated with a listed building. Its combination of space, location, parking, balcony and scope makes it a particularly interesting opportunity in central Torquay.
The property offers practical low maintenance outside areas. To the front there is a modest courtyard style approach behind an ornate iron gate. The sitting room opens onto a private balcony positioned beside a mature tree and enjoying a leafy outlook towards distant woodland. This gives the home a valuable outdoor seating area without the upkeep of a traditional garden.
