John Lake Estate Agents says ..
This deceptively spacious PERIOD TERRACED HOUSE sits in one of Torquay’s most desirable locations within comfortable walking distance of the scenic Babbacombe Downs, Cary Parks and St Marychurch 'village' precinct.
Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom, two-bathroom terraced house located in Babbacombe, Torquay, is listed at £245,000. The property’s location is a key selling point. Babbacombe is a sought-after area known for its attractive surroundings and proximity to green spaces like Babbacombe Downs and Cary Parks. The property is within walking distance of shops and amenities in St Marychurch. Good primary and secondary schooling options are also relatively close by. Transport links to the rest of the region are present but not directly on the doorstep.
Internally, the property shows its age. While the structure appears sound, the interior design and fixtures are dated and could benefit from a comprehensive update. Potential buyers should budget for some modernisation work, such as redecorating, updating the kitchen and bathrooms, and potentially upgrading flooring and fixtures.
The garden, while present, is quite small and overgrown. While providing some outdoor space, it does not offer a significant amount of land. Overall, this is a property that offers a solid location and livable space, but requires an investment of time and money to update and modernise to meet modern tastes.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
