Braddons Hill Road East, Torquay, Devon, TQ1

A beautifully presented detached 9 x bedroom Victorian former guest house for sale, located close to Torquay's idyllic harbour and seafront. This property is in excellent condition throughout. The property benefits plenty of parking, a large dining room, lounge, conservatory, garden to the front and side with mature shrubbery, palm trees, seating, terrace and much more. The property is situated in a fantastic, elevated position with stunning views and is reluctantly being placed onto the open market because of poor health. The business is not trading and the usage to full residential could be easily changed subject to planning permission with the local authority. Early viewings are highly recommended.
