Home with Income / Investment Opportunity
Torquay, Devon
A fantastic opportunity to acquire a beautiful detached 10 x letting unit property with full residential usage, together with a separate detached 4 x bedroom spacious owners’ Coach House, all situated in a sought-after tree lined residential area of Torquay, Devon. Only walking distance to the town centre, harbour and beach but also within easy reach of main roads linking all parts of the South-West. Providing an impressive income without much input from the owners, having a large private car park and owners’ substantial property, which could easily be let out or would make a lovely family home, with its highly private large garden, double garage and workshop. Early viewings are highly recommended.
Location
This property is situated on Old Teignmouth Road, Torquay, which is tree lined and occupied by a plethora of beautiful, large Victorian villas. Only a short walk from the sea front, harbour and town centre. The Riviera Conference Centre and train/bus stations are nearby linking Torquay to the rest of the UK. Torquay is conveniently located along the Jurassic coast and only a short drive to places like Dartmoor National park, Dartmouth and the Cathedral city of Exeter with its International airport and M5 motorway linking all parts of the UK.
Business
Many years ago, this Victorian Villa was subdivided into 10 x letting units which have provided our clients with an enviable lifestyle and enabled them to travel extensively. However, because of overdue retirement, this is now reluctantly being placed onto the open market. Very rarely are there any vacancies and the tenants tend to stay for many years which in turn has made this investment very easy to operate. We, the agents, feel with a few minor alterations to the layout, all apartments could have their own bathrooms and subsequently a higher rental overall could be achieved. Actual trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
