Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Watcombe Heights Road, Torquay, which is in the St Marychurch area of Torbay, Devon. Based on the provided information and images, the property appears to be a two-story house with a sizeable garden and ample off-street parking. The surrounding area has several good schools within a reasonable distance, including Mayfield School and Combe Pafford School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Several train stations are also within a reasonable distance, providing convenient access to other parts of the region.
The house itself shows signs of age, and while the exterior is well-maintained, some interior rooms appear dated and may benefit from modernisation. The bathrooms, in particular, seem to require updating. The property has a generous plot size of 2,180.77 sqft, which is a significant advantage.
Considering the average house price in the area is £300,134 and the average price per sqft is £330, the listing price of £700,000 for this 1,150.06 sqft property seems high. While the location, land size, and proximity to amenities are positive factors, the condition of the property and the need for potential renovations should be taken into account when assessing its value. The higher price may be justified by the large plot size and desirable location, but a full survey would be needed to determine the extent of any necessary repairs and their impact on the overall value.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
