A well-presented Victorian terraced house in St James, Exeter, offered as a freehold investment with a confirmed 2025/26 rental income of £32,880. The property is configured as a four-bedroom student let with generous double bedrooms, a good communal living area and a conservatory that provides extra social space. Fixtures include a granite-worktop kitchen with Bosch appliances and maintained communal spaces; the house has been routinely cared for and is ready for continued student occupation.
This compact property sits close to the city centre and university, in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and plentiful local amenities and transport links. The rear and small front gardens are low-maintenance, and the EPC rating is D. Layout features include one main bathroom, a separate shower room and a ground-floor bedroom, making the house functional for turnover between occupants.
Important investment considerations: the area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived, which can affect lettings risk and insurance costs. The overall plot and internal footprint are small and there is only one full bathroom, which may limit appeal outside the student market. This is best suited to a buyer seeking a turn-key student income with scope for ongoing management rather than a family seeking larger living space.
