Description

A highly versatile opportunity, this stylish and fully modernised Victorian 6-bedroom en-suite house share, together with a 2-bedroom self-contained apartment with change of use currently being finalised, offers you the flexibility to choose. This could create a fantastic income for anybody or simply provide a beautiful family home with additional income if required. The property is ideally positioned on a quiet, sought-after street in the vibrant coastal town of Torquay, Devon. Additional features include a private car park and a welcoming front terrace. The condition is exceptional, and we strongly recommend viewing to fully appreciate the quality and location of this property, as well as the opportunities it presents.

LOCATION

Location doesn't get better than this! Situated on Scarborough Road and within the very heart of Torquay, Devon. This location is ideally positioned within a couple of minutes' walk to the town centre, harbour and seafront. All local amenities are in the immediate vicinity together with easy access to all main arterial roads linking Plymouth, Dartmouth, Brixham and the Cathedral city of Exeter with its international airport and M5 motorway connecting all parts of the UK. The local bus and train station are also nearby, making this location ideal for anybody wishing to use public transport, which is on the increase.

BUSINESS

Westbrook House - Planning permission is sought for HMO, full residential status. This will allow you the freedom of choice. You could simply occupy the two bedroom flat whilst receiving a gross income of £43,000 from upstairs. Alternatively rent out the entire building and place it under professional management as it currently is. Gross income including the flat would be in the region of £60000/annum. The property

offers long-term flexibility for an owner, with planning for residential conversion creating the opportunity for a high end HMO/House Share, self-contained flats, or a mixed-use scheme. Full planning permission

should be received in the next few weeks.
