Description

This three-bedroom mid-19th-century townhouse is arranged over several levels and is offered with no onward chain. The accommodation includes a large front sitting room, a further flexible room, two bathrooms, a lower-ground-floor sitting room and a kitchen with pantry. A garden room connects the kitchen to the rear garden, with a separate utility area and boiler space. Period details include high ceilings and original slate flooring in the kitchen. The upper floors contain the remaining bedrooms, while a staircase leads to a substantial loft with Velux windows. The loft may offer scope for further use or conversion, subject to the necessary consents. The enclosed west-facing garden has several levels, a courtyard, lawn, terrace and veranda, with a garage and carport accessed from the rear and parking for two cars. The property is in need of refurbishment, offering scope to update the accommodation while retaining its period character. Situated in central Tavistock, the house is within walking distance of the town’s facilities. The property is freehold, has mains services and gas-fired central heating, and is being sold by informal tender, with tenders due by midday on 28 October 2026. The vendors are not obliged to accept the highest or any offer.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £250,000, this substantial period townhouse offers a sizeable medium-scale restoration project in the heart of Tavistock. Its generous accommodation across several levels, character features and flexible room use give plenty to work with; the kitchen and interior finishes are dated, while some lower-ground and adjoining surfaces look unfinished, creating scope to modernise and make the house your own. The established west-facing garden, with views towards the viaduct, is a particular asset, and a garage and carport add useful practicality.

The overall score is 56/100, grade D: the project and location have clear appeal, but the opportunity is not yet fully assessable on value. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot be judged, and the available information does not establish the finished-value picture. The supplied views show no obvious major roof failure or structural movement, though detailed condition cannot be confirmed.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated kitchen and refresh interior finishes, while retaining period character.
  • Make use of the generous multi-level accommodation and flexible rooms to suit different living or working needs.
  • Enjoy and enhance the established west-facing garden, with its covered seating and viaduct outlook.
