3 bed 2 bath Terraced

Freehold Victorian terrace with period features and high ceilings
Short walk to Budleigh Salterton town centre and pebble beach
About 1,132 sqft over multiple storeys; three bedrooms, two bathrooms
Requires full modernisation; interior and finishes are dated
External render and joinery show wear; likely need for repairs
Stone walls likely have no insulation — energy upgrades needed
Small plot: limited forecourt and rear paved courtyard only
No flood risk; mains gas boiler and radiators already installed
This Victorian terraced cottage on Fore Street Hill offers a compact, characterful home in very affluent Budleigh Salterton, well suited to buyers seeking a town-centre property a short walk from the seafront and local amenities. The house is freehold, mains-gas heated with a traditional boiler and radiators, and benefits from strong mobile signal and low local crime.
The property retains period features — bay window, sash-style windows and high ceilings in places — and provides a solid canvas for sensitive updating. At about 1,132 sqft over multiple storeys, the layout includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and roughly six main rooms, giving flexible space for a couple or small family wanting to downsize while staying central to shops, cafés and the beach.
Important to note: the house requires renovation throughout. External joinery and render show wear and the stone walls are likely uninsulated, so energy performance will need attention. Interiors shown are dated with worn finishes and some rooms will need modernisation to meet contemporary standards. Outside space is limited to a small forecourt and a paved rear courtyard.
For buyers who value location and character, this is a renovation opportunity with potential uplift from refurbishment. Practical advantages — freehold tenure, mains gas heating, no flood risk and excellent mobile signal — sit alongside the clear work needed: structural-era fabric, possible insulation upgrades and comprehensive interior updating.
