Description

This period terraced house offers a compelling opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike. While it boasts an elegant exterior, the interior is primed for a comprehensive makeover, allowing you to infuse modern sensibilities into its classic charm. Previous enhancements include a new slate roof and updated front rendering, providing a solid foundation for your renovations. The spacious layout includes open plan principal rooms that were originally designed as two separate spaces, featuring inviting bay windows and decorative fireplaces that can be restored to their former glory. The kitchen area presents an expansive blank canvas awaiting your creativity, with current access to a courtyard garden through a partially boarded door. Upstairs, the layout traditionally accommodates four bedrooms alongside essential family amenities like a bathroom and cloakroom, though currently there are some unorthodox integrations between rooms that could be reconfigured according to your vision. Outside, the property features a well-sized courtyard garden at the rear and a large garage with direct access from the service lane—ideal for secure parking or additional storage. Situated in Plainmoor, this home benefits from proximity to local amenities and is within walking distance of St Marychurch and Babbacombe, both known for their charming village atmospheres and scenic coastlines. With Torquay town centre just around the corner, enjoy easy access to recreational facilities along the stunning South Devon coast.
