3 Bed End Terrace, Western Terrace, TQ1

3 bedrooms, 2 bath/shower-rooms, modern end-terrace house in St Marychurch, Torquay

Although in a characterful area of mainly Victorian cottages and houses, this house is less than 20 years old and is at one end of a short terrace of three houses built on the foundations of an old Victorian workshop. The house is built over three floors with the kitchen and living room at street level and upstairs on the first floor there are two bedrooms and a shower room (with toilet and washbasin). At the lower ground floor level there is the third bedroom and bathroom (with full bath & shower over.

The house is in St Marychurch and is only a few minutes walk from the  St Marychurch shopping precinct with its wide variety of independent shops, cafes and pubs and three small supermarkets (including Sainsburys and the Co-op). Within a mile or so there is a large Sainsburys, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose. The house is about 1 km from the sea and South West Coast Path - so about a 15 minute walk to Babbacombe Downs and easy access to Oddicombe and Babbacombe beaches. There is a traditional pub less than 100m away.

From the rear of the house, including the living room, there are nice views over parts of St Marychurch and Watcombe, including Torquay golf course, Brunel Manor and Watcombe Heights.

We believe that this house could be ideal for 2 friends who could each have a whole floor and share the living room & kitchen on the middle (entrance level) floor. The top floor has a decent size double bedroom + a shower room and a smaller bedroom ideal as a study or for working from home. The bottom floor has a decent size bedroom and a bathroom.

Room layout and sizes:
Entrance level - Living room (rear, north-west facing)  3.76m wide x 3.20m deep, open plan to Kitchen (front. south=east facing) 3.53m (max) deep  x 2.72m wide
First floor - Bedroom 1 (rear, north-west facing) Double bedroom 3.76m wide x 2.75m deep, Shower room/toilet. Bedroom 3 (front, south-east facing) 2.53m deep x 1.90m wide
Lower ground floor - Bedroom 2 (rear, north-west facing) Double bedroom 3.67m wide x 2.5m deep. Bathroom with bath (shower over), toilet and wash hand basin. Space & plumbing for washing machine.

Since the photos were taken the interior decoration has changed - the whole house is now white. The house is currently being redecorated throughout and also a number of small improvements are being made, including new worktops in the kitchen. By the time the new tenants move in the house will be in practically pristine/"as new" condition.
 
The EPC shows the floor area of the house to be 69 square metres (approx. 700 square feet). The house has a recently fitted gas combi boiler supplying central heating and hot water and because the house is quite recently built it has good standards of insulation giving it an EPC of C so heating should be economical.

The Council Tax band is B.

PLEASE NOTE: The downsides: This is a nice house in a quiet location with a pleasant outlook but it has no garden or outside space. Also,one of the bedrooms is two floors apart from the others which may not be ideal for families with several young children. It is much more suitable for two adults or perhaps a family with a teenage son or daughter. The upside of these downsides is that the monthly rent is £100 to £200 less than it would be if there was a garden.
There is no off-road parking but street parking is unrestricted.
