This distinctive property, available for the first time in many years, presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. Configured as two interlinked 5-bedroom residences, it offers a variety of potential uses including the transformation into a grand single-family home, the development of rental apartments, or an ideal space for multi-generational living.
Number 80 features a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with a spacious lounge, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, a shower room, and a generously sized bedroom. The adjoining section is integrated with Number 78, which adds four additional bedrooms along with a family bathroom. An attic room provides access to a roof terrace that boasts panoramic views of the bay and sea beyond. Both properties are complemented by front and rear gardens that enhance their outdoor appeal.
Entering Number 78, you are greeted by an expansive entrance hall leading to a large lounge and conservatory area. The ground floor also includes a formal dining room, ground-floor shower room, and a kitchen with easy outdoor access. The first floor contains five double bedrooms—one equipped with an ensuite—and additional facilities including a separate shower room and WC. Both homes benefit from ample outdoor spaces at the front and back.
Rich in history, these properties exhibit character through high ceilings, generous room sizes, and multiple cellars throughout. A parcel of land directly opposite offers off-street parking for several vehicles—a significant advantage in this location. Additionally, there is an existing water well beneath one of the bedrooms in the apartment; while currently sealed off, this feature could be reimagined as an attractive element during any renovations.
This property is in need of modernization but holds vast potential to adapt its layout to meet various needs—whether that be creating upscale family living spaces or high-end rental units.
Situated on Totnes Road in Paignton, you will find yourself within walking distance to the town center as well as Paignton’s lively seafront and harbor area. Local amenities are readily accessible nearby, with main bus links just five minutes away.
With its combination of space and potential for improvement, this unique property invites exploration for those looking to invest in its future possibilities.
