A spacious four bedroom DETACHED HOUSE on a good sized plot, now in need of modernisation and improvement, conveniently located, not far from the popular and bustling St Marychurch precinct.
Property Oracle says ..
This four-bedroom property in Barton with Watcombe, Torquay, presents a mixed bag. The location scores high due to its proximity to well-regarded schools and reasonably convenient access to transport links. The substantial living space (1486 sq ft) provides ample room for a family. However, the property requires significant renovation work. The images reveal outdated interiors, worn carpets, and some signs of damage requiring repair. The kitchen and bathroom, while functional, are outdated and in need of modernization. The garden is a plus point. Whilst currently requiring attention, its size is considerable, offering potential for improvement. The lack of precise plot size details hinders a comprehensive valuation. Concerning the price, £375,000 seems somewhat high given the required work. A thorough survey and cost analysis for the necessary renovations are crucial before committing to purchase. Overall, this is a property with potential, but buyers should factor in renovation costs and weigh them against the asking price.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
