This chain-free mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into the Plymouth market with practical two-bedroom accommodation and genuine scope to add value. The property has a flexible lounge/diner, a separate study ideal for home working, and both front and rear gardens that enhance living space and outdoor options.
The house requires renovation and modernisation throughout — the kitchen and some internal finishes will need updating to match contemporary standards. At about 568 sq ft the overall footprint is small, so buyers should expect compact rooms despite the sensible layout. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but the install date is unknown.
Set overlooking a pleasant communal green, the location gives easy access to the city centre, local shops, and transport links. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and crime levels are reported low. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, though the wider area records higher levels of deprivation, which may influence long-term resale considerations.
For first-time buyers or investors willing to carry out cosmetic and systems upgrades, this property provides a straightforward, chain-free purchase with garden space and room to personalise. Be prepared for renovation costs and the compact size when assessing affordability and layout changes.
