6 bedroom terraced house for sale

This DOUBLE FRONTED PERIOD HOUSE, we believe circa mid 1800s, affords an extensive and versatile residence, used by our client throughout their ten year ownership as both a family home and rental investment for multiple occupiers. The house is beautifully presented having gone through a comprehensive program of modernisation, whilst achieving a high energy efficiency rating on the EPC for a building of this age and nature.

The property stands in the Barton conservation area, within a short walk to local shops at both Barton and Watcombe. The King George V playing fields are within half a mile, leading on to Easterfield and the picturesque South West Coast Paths toward Watcombe Beach with Maidencombe and Shaldon beyond. More comprehensive amenities can be found at nearby St Marychurch, with pedestrianised shopping precinct and Torquay Golf Club.

OWNER'S INSIGHT

"I bought the old house back in 2014 requiring more than a little work, but I could see the potential for us to make a character family home. Over the years I have brought the house up to modern standards, but conscious to retain the charm. The new tiled roof with solar panels helped achieve greater energy efficiency, and new owners will see the benefits for many years to come. It has been a great family home, and more latterly a high quality rental for multi occupiers maximising the yield. The house has many potential uses."
