Located in an area with above-average crime statistics
This compact end-of-terrace one-bedroom house on Blakemere Close is a low-maintenance, chain-free home ideal for downsizers, first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward project. The ground floor offers an open-plan lounge and kitchen with a convenient accessible shower room off the kitchen and direct access to a small private rear garden. Upstairs the bedroom is a comfortable double with built-in wardrobe storage.
The property is freehold with off-street parking and very low council tax (Band A), which helps keep running costs down. It has practical strengths for immediate occupancy but does need internal modernisation—cosmetic updating and possible systems checks are advised. The EPC is rated D, so energy improvements would both cut bills and add value.
Practical considerations are made plain: the house sits on a small plot in a town-fringe location with above-average local crime statistics, and the accommodation is compact. These factors, together with the renovation requirement, are reflected in the price and create room for value gain for someone willing to refresh the interior. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong and local amenities, health services and transport links are readily accessible.
Overall, this home offers an affordable, manageable footprint and a blank canvas for someone seeking a low-upkeep property close to Whitchurch facilities. Buyers should budget for updating and confirm services and condition via a survey before purchase.
