This double fronted period house, we believe circa mid 1800s, affords an extensive and versatile residence, used by our client throughout their ten year ownership as both a family home and rental investment for multiple occupiers. The house is beautifully presented having gone through a comprehensive program of modernisation, whilst achieving a high energy efficiency rating on the EPC for a building of this age and nature.
The property stands in the Barton conservation area, within a short walk to local shops at both Barton and Watcombe. The King George V playing fields are within half a mile, leading on to Easterfield and the picturesque South West Coast Paths toward Watcombe Beach with Maidencombe and Shaldon beyond. More comprehensive amenities can be found at nearby St Marychurch, with pedestrianised shopping precinct and Torquay Golf Club.
EPC Rating: B
Owner's Insight
"I bought the old house back in 2014 requiring more than a little work, but I could see the potential for us to make a character family home. Over the years I have brought the house up to modern standards, but conscious to retain the charm. The new tiled roof with solar panels helped achieve greater energy efficiency, and new owners will see the benefits for many years to come.
It has been a great family home, and more latterly a high quality rental for multi occupiers maximising the yield. The house has many potential uses."
Step Inside
A white composite front door opens to the reception hall with solid oak doors to the separate rooms, with the layout providing a variety of room uses. Sitting room with bay window to the front and storage cupboard. Ground floor suite divided into two rooms suited to a lounge with bay window and bedroom with patio doors to the garden and en-suite shower room. The stud wall between the connecting rooms could easily be removed to provide one large room. The kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully appointed with two tone flush units and solid woodblock work tops with metro tiled splash backs and sink. Built-in oven, five ring gas hob with glass canopy filter hood over, provisions for dishwasher and bank of fridges and white goods. Obscure glazed window to the kitchen area, heavy exposed timbers to the breakfast area and patio doors leading out to the rear garden.

Contemporary en-suite with double shower, body spray and rain head, vanity unit and WC. Towel rail, tiled floor and obscure glazed window. Bedroom 2 with en-suite shower room.

Bedrooms 3 & 4 could also provide a bedroom suite, sharing an inner lobby, with bedroom three overlooking the rear garden. Bathroom with 'P' shaped bath and separate cloakroom with wash hand basin, WC, exposed beam and obscure glazed window. These two rooms could be combined for one larger bathroom as separated by a stud wall.

Torbay's wide selection of stunning beaches, picturesque coastline, mild climate and recreational facilities reinforce why it has rightfully earned the renowned nickname of the English Riviera.
Torquay Is Well Connected
