A compact two-bedroom Victorian bay-fronted house in St Thomas, offered freehold and ready for immediate occupation. The ground floor has a bright through lounge and separate dining room flowing to a modern fitted kitchen and useful lean-to/utility. Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms and a large family bathroom. The property retains period character, high ceilings and built-in storage, making it appealing to first-time buyers seeking a central location.
Practical positives include double glazing (installed pre-2002), gas central heating via a combi boiler, low flood risk and a cheap council tax band. The enclosed courtyard garden is low maintenance and has gated rear access; on-street parking is available. Local amenities on Cowick Street, good primary and secondary schools, and easy links to Exeter city centre and rail make this a convenient urban base.
Notable drawbacks are the small plot size, no off-street parking, and evidence of older construction (cavity walls assumed without insulation) that may require insulation or energy improvements. Broadband availability at the property is limited on standard provision (circa 6 Mbps), and the neighbourhood records higher crime levels than average — factors to weigh for families and commuters.
Overall this is a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a central, characterful two-bedroom terrace with straightforward layout and scope for energy and cosmetic improvement. The home presents good immediate living space but offers further upside from modest upgrading and insulation works.
