Set on a hilltop with a great outlook, this home is just waiting to be turned into something exceptional.
From the windows and terraced gardens of High View, you can look out to sea, over Torquay and the South Devon countryside.
Built in the 1930s, the five-bedroom house shows art deco influence in its white exterior and elegant veranda.
It is for sale at £800,000 and is marketed by John Couch The Estate Agent, Torquay at OnTheMarket.
Inside, as well as the bedrooms, there are two reception rooms, a south-facing garden room, kitchen, scullery, storerooms, bathroom and cloakroom.
All are in need of modernisation but the potential for a new owner to create something individual and unforgettable is clear.

The gardens are extensive, with a level stretch of lawn to the south side with views towards Lyme Bay, lawns leading down to the driveway boundary and a terraced garden to the rear of the property.
High View is accessed via Lincombe Drive, one of three roads following the contour of Lincombe Hill, which is dotted by secluded private homes.
The Wellswood area where the house is located has a number of shops, restaurants and a primary school, as well as the prehistoric caves of Kents Cavern.
Numerous woodland walks and Victorian footpaths lead to Ilsham Valley.
Torquay harbourside and town centre are easy to access, as are Meadfoot beach and Anstey’s Cove.
If you’re looking for a project by the sea, High View could be it.
