2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Torwood Gardens Road, Torquay TQ1

Occupying a wonderful position directly opposite the beautiful Torwood Gardens and just a stone's throw from Torquay harbourside, this semi-detached house has been arranged as two self contained apartments, each with their own private entrance, making it an excellent proposition for multi generational living or investment. Both the ground floor and first floor apartments offer a sitting room, kitchen, a double bedroom and bathroom, with the benefit of shared outside space to enjoy.

The property enjoys a superb setting, looking directly across to the mature planting and pathways of Torwood Gardens, one of Torquay's much loved green spaces, and within easy reach of the harbourside with its working fishing fleet, marina, cafes and restaurants. The town centre, with its wider selection of shops, is just a short walk beyond, while Torquay seafront, Abbey Sands and the Princess Theatre are all within comfortable walking distance. Local schools are close by, and excellent transport links, including Torquay railway station, are also within easy reach, making this a wonderfully central position from which to enjoy all that the English Riviera has to offer.

Sellers Insight

"We purchased this property as an investment and it has served us very well over the years. In fact, we liked it so much that one of our daughters moved into the upstairs apartment, which we renovated throughout during her time there. The downstairs apartment could benefit from a little updating in the bathroom, but overall the property is in lovely condition and has been a pleasure to own.

We would happily have continued renting it out, but have made the decision to sell some of our investments to focus on other business ventures. We hope the next owners enjoy this special property, in such a wonderful position, as much as we have."
