Set in central Plymouth, this compact mid-terrace Victorian property offers a spacious reception, modern kitchen-diner and a comfortable double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. A large garage provides secure parking and useful storage — a rare find for a terraced plot in this part of the city. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support both home working and student occupancy.
Sold freehold by auction, the property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located rental or a small renovation project. The house has double glazing fitted since 2002 and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators, so day-to-day living is straightforward while cosmetic updating could increase value.
Buyers must note material considerations: the area records high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which will affect rental demand and resale values. The terrace walls are original granite/whinstone with assumed no insulation — adding insulation may be required to improve energy efficiency. The plot is small and external amenity limited, though there is some outside space for light gardening.
This is an auction sale with specific costs and timelines: completion within the Reservation Period, a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) and a Buyer Information Pack fee apply. Inspect carefully with your lender or surveyor before bidding and factor auction fees into purchase calculations.
