Summary - 195, Southampton Street RG1 2RB
4 bed 1 bath Terraced
No onward chain, short walk to shops, station and riverside.
Three/four bedrooms over four floors, flexible layout
A centrally located Victorian mid-terrace offered with no onward chain, this three/four-bedroom home is an accessible step onto the property ladder or a straightforward rental opportunity. Split over four floors, the layout gives flexible living with separate living and dining rooms, a basement and a private rear garden — rare finds so close to the Oracle shopping centre, mainline station and riverside.
The house retains period character and offers 1,190 sq ft of accommodation, but it needs attention in places: exterior and roof maintenance have been noted, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. There is one main bathroom and on‑street permit parking to the front, so practical living is simple but not lavish.
For first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors, the property’s town‑centre location, good transport links and proximity to strong local schools are major draws. The small garden and basement add usable space. Buyers should budget for updating and roof works and consider insulating the property to improve comfort and running costs.
This home suits someone seeking an affordable central property with scope to add value through sensible refurbishment, or a landlord wanting immediate tenant demand in a busy rental neighbourhood.
