This Victorian mid-terrace offers a compact, practical layout ideal for first-time buyers or landlords seeking a town-centre rental. The house benefits from two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a well-fitted kitchen arranged over a conventional two-storey footprint. Being just 250 metres from the mainline station makes it easy to let or commute from.
The property has been improved over time and includes double glazing, gas central heating and modern kitchen appliances; a long lease (approx. 138 years remaining) and chain-free sale simplify transaction. The rear courtyard garden is low-maintenance and there is on-street parking to the front. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, while council tax costs are low — useful for those focused on running costs.
Buyers should note material local considerations: the neighbourhood shows high crime levels and very high area deprivation, which will affect lifestyle and rental demand. The property uses key meters for utilities and has a modest overall footprint (approx. 635 sq ft) with a small rear garden, so space is limited compared with larger family homes.
This house is a straightforward, affordable entry to Bridgwater town living — close to shops, schools and transport. Investors will find commuting tenants and rental potential; first-time buyers gain central access and low ongoing tax costs. However, buyers should factor local social conditions into purchase or letting plans and view in person to assess suitability.
