Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Torquay, Devon, a coastal town in the South West of England. The area benefits from proximity to the seafront, offering scenic views as shown in the photographs. The presence of several nearby schools, including Ellacombe Church of England Academy and Upton St James Cofe Primary School (both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), suggests good educational opportunities within a reasonable distance. Torquay train station is also relatively close, providing convenient access to other parts of the UK. The photos reveal a property with sea views, suggesting a desirable location for many buyers.
The property itself appears to be in good condition based on the images provided. The kitchen and bathroom have recently been updated with modern fixtures and fittings. The interior is presented well, and there is no obvious sign of significant repair needs. The exterior of the building also seems well maintained. The presence of a garden adds to the property’s appeal.
The property’s list price of £295,000 is slightly higher than the average price of £232,484 for the area. However, the property’s size (685.02 sqft) is smaller than the average (909 sqft) and the average price per sqft in the area is £255. Taking into consideration the property’s location, condition, and included garden, the list price appears to be reasonably competitive, especially given the stunning sea views. Nearby comparable properties are listed at a higher price, supporting this assessment. However, the lack of sqft data for the comparable properties limits the accuracy of this comparison.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
