A classic two-bedroom mid-terrace in Horncastle’s Georgian conservation area, offered with no onward chain and scope for immediate occupation or improvement. The red-brick façade and sash windows give genuine period character while internal spaces remain practical for modern living. A south-facing living room and separate dining room create a bright ground-floor living arrangement suited to everyday needs.
The house is best for a first-time buyer or investor who values location and character and is willing to carry out some updating. The property has single-glazed sash windows, an outdated heater and signs of damp in the living room — all items to consider when budgeting for works. The layout is conventional and straightforward: living room, dining room, kitchen to the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom above.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, very low council tax, low flood and crime risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — all helpful for remote working or rental appeal. The town-centre location places shops, cafés, transport links and well-rated local schools within easy walking distance. The house’s size (around 656 sq ft) is typical for a terrace of this age and suits a small household.
In short: this is an affordable entry into Horncastle’s conservation area with period charm and town convenience, but it requires some modernisation and damp/ventilation remedies. Buyers should factor renovation costs into their offer and may find value by updating heating, windows and finishes to enhance comfort and resale or rental yield.
