This compact Grade II listed period terrace on Bridewell Street offers a straightforward entry into Devizes living for a first-time buyer. At about 459 sq ft it provides a sitting room, kitchen, one double bedroom and a bathroom, plus a small rear garden and shed. The property is freehold and sold with no onward chain, helping a brisk move-in or refurbishment schedule.
The house requires modernisation throughout and the images indicate areas needing attention, including persistent damp in parts and dated fixtures and flooring. Listed status will restrict external and certain internal changes, so expect listed-building consents for structural or heritage-sensitive works. Positive recent updates include a new mains-gas boiler fitted in 2022 and double glazing installed after 2002.
Location is a key benefit: the Market Place, shops, cafes and transport links are all within easy walking distance, and local schools and the Kennet and Avon Canal are nearby. Practical advantages include very low Council Tax (Band A) and no flood risk. Note the local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, which are factors to consider for buyers and lenders.
For someone willing to invest time and budget into sympathetic updating, this property offers good value and strong rental or owner-occupier potential in a central town setting. A virtual tour is available to help assess the layout and scope of works before viewing.
