At the rear, an enclosed courtyard offers a compact, low-maintenance outdoor area. Paignton town centre, its shops and cafés, the seafront and beach are nearby, with Goodrington Sands and Paignton Zoo a short journey away. Paignton railway station is within walking distance, and local bus services connect with Torbay and the surrounding area.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

59out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £215,000, this three-bedroom terrace is priced well below the local average per square foot, making it an attractive opportunity to acquire a home with scope to add your own finish. The interiors are dated, with an incomplete kitchen fit-out, older bathroom finishes and worn flooring providing a clear medium-scale improvement project. The enclosed courtyard and generally intact-looking street-facing brickwork add to the appeal, while the air source heat pump and solar-ready provision offer a useful starting point for energy-efficiency upgrades.

The overall score is still a weak opportunity: once improvement work is considered, the economics are tight against the current local average value. The convenient position near Paignton town centre, seafront and railway station is a positive, but the value case depends on the quality and cost of the finished result.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire below the local average £/sqf and personalise the dated interiors.
  • Complete or replace the visibly incomplete kitchen fit-out and refresh the older bathroom finishes.
  • Improve the enclosed courtyard and make use of the air source heat pump and solar-ready provision.
