Description
159 Babbacombe Road is situated in a prime location in Torquay, a popular coastal town, forming part of the English Riviera. The property benefits from close proximity to Babbacombe Downs and a variety of local amenities, including cafés, restaurants and shops. Excellent transport links provide easy access to Torquay town centre, the harbour and surrounding areas. The location is highly desirable for both residents and holidaymakers, making it an ideal investment for long-term rentals or short-stay accommodation. 159 Babbacombe Road is a terraced property arranged as three well-proportioned one-bedroom flats, offering a fantastic investment opportunity. Two of the flats have been recently refurbished to a high standard and are currently utilised as holiday lets. These flats will be sold with vacant possession, allowing flexibility to future owner’s plans. The lower ground floor flat, accessed via the rear, benefits from a large private courtyard garden and a storage shed. The flat is currently let on an AST to a tenant at £598 pcm. There is an opportunity to enhance the property's value by removing the storage shed to create off-road parking. With flexible investment potential as a buy-to-let, Airbnb rental or title split, this property is an excellent addition to an investor’s portfolio.
