Versatile 3-Bed Home with Fitted Salon & Class E Commercial Potential — South-Facing Garden

A standout opportunity for investors and families alike: this three-bedroom mixed-use property in Barton, Torquay combines a private garden, garage, and off-street parking with a fully-equipped commercial salon space — offering genuine income potential and Class E flexibility for a range of business uses.

The Home
Inside, three bedrooms, a shower room and separate bathroom offer flexible family living, with a gas boiler installed in 2023 under a 5-year manufacturer warranty. The main house extends to 134 sqm of internal living space, which includes the fitted ground-floor salon and treatment room. The third bedroom lends itself well to use as a home office or study for those working remotely.

Outside
The property benefits from off-street parking for two vehicles, a large, modern garage with solar panels and remote-controlled access, and a private, south-facing cottage-garden retreat — a genuine sun trap, ideal for alfresco dining or growing your own veg.

Business Opportunity
The ground floor of the main house includes a fully-equipped salon, fitted with two nail stations, a pedicure station, two hair-cutting stations, a hair-wash station, and a treatment room with bed, along with its own kitchenette and toilet. The salon is currently operational and maintained in accordance with required fire, health and safety standards, with all equipment available to include in the sale. Suited to a full commercial salon under the property's Class E consent, or a home-salon setup — a popular, lower-overhead model for independent operators. It also lends itself to a range of other uses, including a gym, studio, physio, osteopathy practice, therapy room, dog grooming business, tutoring space, or offices.

In addition to the main house, the property also benefits from a separate 24.8 sqm generously sized modern garage and 12.6 sqm utility/store room, offering further storage or workshop space.

Location
Set in Barton, TQ2 8DP, the property is well placed for local families, with Barton Hill Academy and Watcombe Primary School both within a short distance. Torquay is known as the jewel of the English Riviera, offering Victorian seaside charm and modern coastal living — the nearest beach and Torquay Golf Club are both just a 4-minute drive away, and the town's harbour, marina, shops, cafes, and restaurants all add to the coastal lifestyle on offer.
