46-52 Torbay Road, Paignton, TQ4 6AL (View on Google Map)

A late Victorian property that was once two guesthouses, situated half way between the railway station and the beach. It is now a Wetherspoons, and opened in 2010. It is essentially one large room on two levels with adequate comfortable seating and dark wood panelling, with the usual offering of framed local history and people. It has a tabled pavement area at the front of the premises, together with a small decking area overlooking a park at the rear. It was extended and refurbished in 2024.
