Description

This centrally located property in Torquay presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, having been under long-term tenancy for over a decade. It is in need of modernisation and repair, making it an ideal candidate for transforming into a contemporary living space. A cellar area adds additional potential; this space could be converted into a utility room, storage, or even a home office, pending appropriate permissions. The accommodation includes a gated access to a courtyard/garden, an entrance door, a lounge that connects with the kitchen, and a bedroom featuring an en-suite shower room. With its irregularly shaped cellar providing extra square footage (approximately 8.76m²), this property offers flexibility for creative improvements. The property currently relies on mains water and electricity; please note that the gas connection has been removed at the previous tenant's request.
