Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Torquay, Devon, a coastal town in South West England. The area benefits from being close to the seafront and has good transport links via Great Western Railway, with Torquay station being 2.14km away. Several schools are within a reasonable distance, including Warberry Cofe Academy (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) which is less than 1km away. The location is therefore considered desirable, offering both coastal living and convenient access to amenities and transport.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in generally good condition, although some modernisation may be beneficial. The interior shows some signs of age, with dated fixtures and fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms. The carpets appear worn and the walls are bare, suggesting the need for some cosmetic improvements. However, the structure of the building and the main features seem well-maintained. The property benefits from a patio area with stunning sea views.
The property has a relatively small plot size of 892.50 sqft, which is less than the average for the area. However, the patio area offers outdoor space with exceptional views.
The list price of £395,000 is significantly higher than the average price of £232,484 for the area. Considering the property’s size (984.24 sqft), the price per sqft is also higher than the average (£255). While the property benefits from a desirable location and sea views, the need for some modernisation and relatively small plot size might make the asking price seem slightly high compared to other properties in the area. A more thorough property valuation would be needed to confirm this.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
