Description

Marstan Villa is a remarkable 11-bedroom detached Victorian property located in the desirable Torquay area, just a short walk from Meadfoot Beach. This substantial villa boasts ample space and offers versatile opportunities for its next owner. With existing planning permission granted (P/2024/0190) to convert the property into two separate residences, it presents a unique investment opportunity. Currently set up to house up to 14 guests across seven en-suite bedrooms, the home features expansive reception areas, a sizeable kitchen/dining space, and additional entertainment options including a bar and cinema/games room. The exterior enhances this property's appeal with a swimming pool and open-air hot tub, while offering generous off-road parking for multiple vehicles. Notably, there is also separate accommodation for owners or management staff, adding further flexibility for extended family living or potential rental income. Having previously functioned as a boutique hotel, Marstan Villa could continue in hospitality or be converted back into an impressive private residence—all subject to requisite permissions. Its location within a tranquil conservation area close to both the beach and Torquay's bustling town centre underscores its significant potential for enhancement and reconfiguration. The scale of this property combined with its unique charm makes it an attractive proposition for renovation-minded investors seeking profitable opportunities in a sought-after coastal locale.
