Description

This Grade II listed early 19th-century villa is set within Totnes Conservation Area, close to the town centre, shops, cafés and restaurants. The four-bedroom property extends to approximately 2,290 sq ft over four levels and retains a period façade, sash windows and generously proportioned rooms. It is offered with scope for modernisation, subject to the requirements that apply to a listed building. The entrance hall gives access to three ground-floor rooms, which could serve as bedrooms, reception rooms or a study. A utility room and bathroom facilities are also on this level, with a substantial cellar below. The first floor contains a large sitting room, a further reception room and a separate dining room adjoining the kitchen. Two further bedrooms occupy the second floor. Mains water, drainage, electricity and gas central heating are connected. The EPC rating is D. A pedestrian gate and low wall enclose the front garden. At the rear, a large walled garden is arranged over gently stepped levels, with paths, productive beds and established planting. The house is within reach of Totnes railway station, which has connections to Exeter, Bristol and London Paddington. The property is listed and lies in a conservation area, so any proposed alterations would need to be checked against the relevant requirements.

Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £625,000, this substantial 2,290 sq ft period villa is priced at £273 per sq ft, around 30% below the local average—a strong opportunity to acquire generous space in a convenient Totnes setting. Its Grade II listed character, period fireplaces, cornicing and sash windows provide a distinctive base for a thoughtful modernisation, while the large walled garden adds plenty of scope for selective improvement.

The works look moderate, with dated finishes across several photographed rooms and an older kitchen and bathroom; the supplied renovation range is £30,000–£55,000. The asking price plus the renovation midpoint is £667,500, compared with an implied current local-average value of £896,650—an indicative comparison, not a renovated GDV or an all-in cost. The photographs show no obvious major structural failure, though the older garden paths and structures merit condition checks.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire 2,290 sq ft at around 30% below the local average asking price per square foot.
  • Refresh the dated finishes, including the older kitchen and bathroom, while bringing out the period fireplaces, cornicing and sash windows.
  • Make selective improvements to the substantial stepped walled garden, retaining its established planting and productive beds.

Key risks

  • As a Grade II listed villa in a conservation area, proposed changes may need to account for heritage requirements.
