New boiler installed; gas central heating and double glazing present
Large lower-ground principal bedroom with bathroom and separate WC
Bay-fronted lounge and kitchen/diner; high ceilings and period features
Only one full bathroom for four bedrooms — potential congestion
Rear hardstand (hard surface) rather than landscaped garden

Area is deprived with above-average crime — affects resale/rental profile
This mid-terrace Victorian property on Kensington Road offers flexible accommodation across three floors with four bedrooms and generous reception space. A new boiler and double glazing are already in place, reducing immediate running-cost concerns, while the layout and size (approx. 1,400 sq ft) suit both owner-occupiers and investors seeking rental or HMO potential.
The lower-ground layout provides a sizeable principal bedroom with an adjacent bathroom and separate WC, while the ground floor features a bay-fronted lounge and a kitchen/diner. The first floor contains three further bedrooms, giving good capacity for families or multiple occupants. The property is chain free, so a swift transaction is possible.
Buyers should note several material points: there is only one bathroom servicing four bedrooms; the original granite/whinstone walls likely have no added insulation; and the rear outdoor space is a hardstand rather than a planted garden. The area is classified as deprived with above-average crime statistics, which affects resale profile and lettability in parts of the market.
Overall, this is a period terrace with clear upside for renovation, improved insulation and internal reconfiguration. It’s best suited to buyers prepared to invest in updating (cosmetic or structural) or investors targeting central Plymouth, student lets, or multi-occupant rental use who will value the location and size.
