2 bed terraced house for sale

Plainmoor, Torquay TQ1

Forming part of a small development constructed circa 1990, this terrace house presents an opportunity for those seeking a competitively priced freehold property reflecting some modernisation now required, and benefitting from an allocated parking space. Situated in a popular residential district, the property has been both a loved home for our clients, and more latterly a rental investment over their 23 years of ownership.

Local shops at Plainmoor are within close proximity with St Marychurch and Babbacombe beyond where the renowned funicular railway takes passengers down to the shingle beaches of Oddicombe and Babbacombe. Torquay's town centre is equally accessible, whilst public swimming pool, selection of schools and regular bus services also all within walking distance.

EPC Rating: D

Owner's Insight

"We bought the house from John Lake's back in 2002 as our home, and had many happy years at Orchard Place. More recently it has been a rental investment, but with our tenant leaving we now feel the time is right to cease being landlords as we move into retirement.

We hope whoever makes it their home will be as happy as we were"
