1 bed end terrace house for sale

St Marychurch, Torquay TQ1

This charming end terrace cottage is one of just three characterful homes tucked back from Hartop Road, within the highly sought-after area of St Marychurch, on the edge of the conservation area. Approached via a private courtyard, the property benefits from the rare advantage of off-road parking, a valuable asset for a home of this nature and location. Inside, the cottage offers a surprisingly spacious one bedroom layout arranged over two traditional floors. The interior blends character and comfort, creating a warm and inviting home ideally suited as a full time residence, coastal retreat, or investment opportunity.

St Marychurch’s vibrant shopping precinct lies just at the top of the hill, retaining its delightful village ambience with a range of independent shops, well-known supermarkets, Churches, medical practices, and a Post Office. Nearby Petitor Road is home to Torquay Golf Club, while the stunning South Devon coastal footpaths can be easily accessed beyond, winding through open fields and woodland before revealing an array of picturesque coves and beaches.

Owners' Insight

"We bought the cottage through John Lake Estate Agents back in 2019 and it has proven to be a very successful investment, consistently achieving high occupancy and attracting reliable tenants. Its manageable size, practical layout and the benefit of off-road parking have made it an easy property to maintain and let.

One of the main reasons we were immediately drawn to the property was its location. Being so close to St Marychurch village precinct, with its range of shops and amenities, has always been a real advantage. The proximity to Torquay Golf Club and the coastal walks has also made it particularly appealing, offering a lovely balance of convenience and access to open surroundings."
