Description
Location
Torquay is the principal commercial centre of Torbay, located approximately 4.5 miles south of Newton Abbot, 20 miles south of Exeter, and 38 miles east of Plymouth.
Bath Lane is situated between the two main arterial routes into Torquay — Avenue Road and Belgrave Road — providing convenient access to the town centre and Torquay Train Station, both within easy reach. The area is a mixed commercial and residential locality, well positioned for a range of light industrial, trade counter or storage uses.
Please note, Bath Lane is not suitable for HGV access.
Description
The property comprises the ground floor of a two-storey freehold building of traditional brick and stone construction with a single-storey extension to the Bath Lane elevation.
The upper floor forms a self-contained flat which has been sold off on a 999-year lease at a peppercorn rent, with separate access from Lime Avenue.
The ground floor, extending to approximately 143.97 m² (1,550 sq ft), provides a versatile open-plan workshop/light industrial unit together with ancillary office, kitchen, WC and storage accommodation. The former large folding access door has been reduced in size to suit the previous occupier’s needs but could be reinstated if required.
Externally, there is a small forecourt parking area to the front of the unit.
The premises are offered with vacant possession and may appeal to owner-occupiers, investors, or those seeking a SIPP-qualifying freehold opportunity.
