About
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial chain-free detached property occupying a generous plot of approximately 3⁄4 of an acre on Babbacombe Road, Torquay.
Offering extensive accommodation across three floors, this highly versatile home is particularly well suited to larger families, multi-generational households or buyers looking for a property with exciting future potential.
The lower ground floor provides an excellent degree of separation from the main accommodation, incorporating a living room, bedroom, bathroom and utility area.
This arrangement lends itself particularly well to annexe-style accommodation, providing valuable independent space for relatives, older children or guests.
The ground floor offers an impressive selection of living spaces, including a generous lounge, separate dining room and kitchen, complemented by both bathroom and shower facilities.
Further rooms include additional bedroom accommodation, a studio and a particularly spacious office, creating considerable flexibility for home working, hobbies, entertaining or adapting the layout to suit individual requirements.
Continuing to the first floor is further extensive accommodation, with a selection of generously proportioned bedrooms, bathroom facilities and an additional kitchen/dining area.
The property's unusual scale and configuration allow different areas of the home to be used independently while remaining part of one substantial residence, making it an especially appealing proposition for multi-generational living.
Another notable feature is the installation of three-phase electricity.
Combined with the size and configuration of the building, this may provide additional possibilities for buyers considering future reconfiguration, redevelopment or income-producing accommodation.
Any subdivision, commercial use, change of use or redevelopment would be subject to the relevant planning permissions, building regulations and other necessary consents. Outside is equally impressive.
The property occupies approximately 3⁄4 of an acre, providing extensive private garden space with plenty of opportunity for entertaining, recreation and further landscaping.
A substantial driveway and parking area provides off-road parking for approximately seven vehicles, with the generous frontage adding further practicality for a property of this size.
Babbacombe Road provides convenient access to the attractions of Babbacombe and Torquay, with the coastline, beaches, local shops, restaurants and everyday amenities all within easy reach.
Torquay town centre and the wider surrounding area are also readily accessible.
Combining extensive living space, substantial grounds, excellent parking and considerable versatility, this chain-free property represents an exciting opportunity for purchasers seeking a large family residence, a multi-generational home or a property with scope to explore alternative uses and future investment potential, subject to the necessary consents.
