Set on a quiet Petworth Street terrace in Romsey Town, this Victorian two-bedroom house blends original character with practical modern updates. Across approximately 668 sq ft, the layout offers a front dining room, a cosy living room with an original fireplace, and a long fitted kitchen opening onto a south-facing courtyard – a low-maintenance outdoor space for sunny afternoons.
Upstairs provides two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a back bathroom with separate bath and shower; the bathroom and kitchen both have underfloor heating for added comfort. Double-glazed sash-style windows and gas central heating help with efficiency; the property currently holds an EPC rating of C (71).
The location is a major strength: a short walk to Mill Road’s independent shops and cafés, around half a mile from the city centre and minutes by bike to Cambridge Station with direct links to London. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit professionals and those who work from home.
Important practical points are straightforward and should be considered. The plot is small with a courtyard rather than a larger garden, and parking is on-street only. The neighbourhood is lively and classified as a cosmopolitan student area, which may bring occasional noise; local crime statistics are above average. Overall, this freehold terrace suits first-time buyers, professionals, or investors seeking a well-located, characterful home with modest outdoor space and clear renovation/maintenance expectations.
