Two double bedrooms arranged over two floors
Enclosed rear garden with outbuilding and patio
Ground-floor bathroom; practical everyday layout
Energy rating C (70); mains gas central heating
Resident permit on-street parking only; no private driveway
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — retrofit advised
Small plot and average internal size for period terrace
Area shows higher crime and greater deprivation statistics
A compact Victorian terraced cottage on South Street, ideal for first-time buyers or an investor seeking a central Taunton location. The house offers two double bedrooms, a sitting room with exposed beams and wooden flooring, plus a kitchen/dining area and ground-floor bathroom — all arranged over two straightforward floors. An enclosed rear garden with an outbuilding gives private outdoor space and storage.
Practical running costs are supported by mains gas central heating and a current Energy Rating of C (70). The property is freehold and within easy walking distance of the town centre, shops, schools and public transport, with resident permit on-street parking available. The elevated frontage and traditional brick-and-stone facade retain period character.
Be candid about the trade-offs: the terrace has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades could improve comfort and running costs. The plot and garden are small, and parking is on-street only. The immediate area shows higher crime statistics and greater deprivation than average, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
Overall, this is a characterful, well-located home that suits buyers wanting a manageable town-centre property to personalise, or investors looking for a lettable two-bed in Taunton. Some targeted improvements (insulation, minor modernisation) would strengthen value and comfort.
