Compact Victorian one-bed with parking — ideal first purchase or low-maintenance investment.
Bright ground-floor one-bedroom with bay-window reception room
A compact one-bedroom ground-floor apartment set in a red-brick Victorian building on Queens Road, St Thomas. The bright front reception room with a bay window and high ceilings gives the flat character and natural light, while double glazing and an EPC C offer reasonable energy performance for the age. The fitted kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated — straightforward cosmetic updating would increase appeal and value.
Practical features include a long lease (967 years remaining), off-street parking in a hard-surfaced courtyard, and very low council tax, making this an affordable ownership or rental option. The property will be sold at a conditional online auction on 25th September 2025 at noon, so buyers should be prepared to act to secure the lot.
Known issues and considerations are factual and modest: the internal footprint is small (approx. 419 sq ft), some external period fabric may need attention (photos suggest potential roof maintenance), and the immediate area scores as deprived which can affect long-term demand and pricing. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local schools and shops are within easy reach, which supports either first-time ownership or lettings.
Overall this is a budget-friendly entry into Exeter property — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a characterful city flat or an investor targeting low-maintenance rental stock. Buyers wanting more outdoor space or a larger living area should note the limited external amenity and compact internal layout.
