A ground-floor, one-bedroom freehold flat in central Exeter offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation or letting. The property includes a private enclosed rear garden—a rare find for a ground-floor flat—and benefits from double glazing and electric storage heating. Its compact 392 sq ft footprint makes it economical to run, and council tax is very cheap.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a central, well-connected home close to St Luke’s campus, local shops and transport links. Broadband and mobile signal are both strong, supporting remote working or student rental demand. The accommodation is practical: entrance hall, living room, separate kitchen, bathroom and a double bedroom.
Be candid about drawbacks: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and the wider area is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental income and insurance costs. The property is small and will likely need some internal modernisation to reach contemporary rental or owner-occupier standards. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be costly compared with gas central heating.
Overall, this is a compact, central flat that offers clear value for buyers prioritising location and garden space over size and finishes. It presents immediate rental potential or an affordable route onto the local property ladder, provided buyers factor in area safety and possible refurbishment costs.
