Set in a true city-centre spot on Dogsthorpe Road, this recently refreshed two-bedroom end-of-terrace is aimed squarely at first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance urban home. The ground floor offers a front reception room and an open-plan kitchen/diner/living area to the rear, plus a useful downstairs WC. Upstairs are two modest bedrooms and a family bathroom — all presented in neutral, move-in-ready condition.
Externally the property benefits from a small, enclosed rear garden with a paved patio and neat lawn, ideal for low-upkeep outdoor sitting. The building is traditional solid-brick construction (circa early 1900s) with double glazing, mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C, indicating reasonable energy performance and modest running costs. Tenure is freehold and council tax is band A, helping keep annual costs low.
Practical realities are clear: the house sits in a very deprived, inner-city area with higher-than-average crime levels, and the plot and rooms are compact. The solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers wanting maximum thermal efficiency or higher future EPCs may consider further insulation or upgrades. For investors, the city-centre location and finished presentation reduce void risk and simplify letting; for first-time buyers, the property offers an affordable entry with scope to boost value through selective internal improvements.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-presented starter home or buy-to-let with sensible running costs and immediate usability, balanced against small living spaces and some neighbourhood challenges. Viewings are recommended for anyone seeking a practical, low-maintenance foothold in central Peterborough.
