Description

This detached period property offers significant potential for renovation and investment. Originally registered as a care home, the layout consists of 12 bedrooms, including a spacious second-floor room that can be utilized in various ways. The ground floor features essential living areas such as a lounge with a bay window, a dining room with a sun lounge, and multiple ancillary spaces, which include bathrooms on each level. The garden is well established and predominantly located at the front, providing an inviting outdoor space. Additionally, off-road parking is available at the side and rear of the property, accommodating several vehicles. Given the former use of the building and its size, Frensham House presents opportunities for repurposing into various residential or commercial ventures, such as independent living arrangements or leisure facilities. Situated on a major arterial route leading into Brixham, this property is well-screened from traffic yet benefits from convenient access to essential amenities. Brixham itself is part of the larger Torbay area—known as the "English Riviera"—which boasts beautiful beaches and attracts both tourists and retirees alike. Key services such as shopping centers and healthcare facilities are easily accessible in Brixham and nearby towns like Paignton and Torquay. Internally, the ground floor comprises an entrance hall with a chair lift to the first floor, along with several bedrooms and former service areas that could be remodeled or combined to create larger living spaces, pending necessary permissions. The first floor hosts seven bedrooms alongside additional bathrooms for convenience while the second floor contains another bedroom and access to ample loft storage. Externally, pedestrian access leads through the well-maintained garden to a welcoming entrance. The property includes an outbuilding previously used as a visitor pod along with multiple sheds for storage needs. The existing layout allows for straightforward alterations or conversions based on future use cases. Frensham House represents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a well-located property ripe for transformation into residential accommodation or commercial enterprises in line with community needs. With its solid structure and adaptable arrangement of rooms, interest from diverse prospects is anticipated. Potential purchasers are encouraged to conduct thorough due diligence regarding any regulatory requirements if considering re-establishing care operations at this site.
