This three-bedroom property situated on Fore Street, Barton with Watcombe, Torquay, presents a mixed bag. The property’s location in Torbay, a popular coastal region of Devon, is attractive. Proximity to well-regarded primary schools like Watcombe Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) enhances its appeal to families. However, additional information about local amenities like shops and transport links is required for a conclusive analysis. Train stations are reasonably nearby.

The property itself presents a unique challenge. While the exterior showcases some stone features and what appears to be a reasonably well-maintained façade, the interior photos reveal dated wallpaper, flooring and furnishings. This suggests a significant need for modernization and updating to match current market preferences. The relatively small garden is a positive, but it is not particularly large or impressive. While the three bedrooms and one bathroom fulfill the needs of many buyers, it is important that any prospective buyer takes into account the significant amount of renovation required for the price given.

The listed price of £200,000 appears competitive, particularly relative to a few other listings in the area (although exact sqft is missing for a reasonable comparison), but prospective buyers should budget for renovations and modernization. A professional survey is strongly recommended before purchasing to ascertain the full condition and any necessary repairs. Overall, it could prove a sound investment for someone willing to undertake a refurbishment project, but only after careful consideration of all aspects.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. Disclamer: This is our opition and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research.
