This five-bedroom property located on Ridgeway Road in the Wellswood area of Torquay presents a unique opportunity but also significant challenges. The property’s listing highlights its dilapidated condition, indicating the need for extensive and potentially costly renovation works. The interior images reveal significant disrepair throughout, impacting everything from walls and ceilings to flooring and fixtures. Given the current condition, the property requires a complete overhaul to improve its livability. The property does appear to include a garden, although its size remains undefined and needs clarification. The distance to local amenities, including schools and the train station, however, are favorable, indicating a decent position within Torquay. A buyer should expect significant expenses related to comprehensive renovation before the property becomes habitable. Although the square footage is substantial, determining true value-for-money hinges on the cost of the necessary renovations. A thorough survey and detailed cost estimate are essential before any purchasing decision.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
