This traditional mid-terrace Victorian house on Rocester High Street offers a practical, affordable entry to homeownership or the rental market. Set over three floors, the property provides two bedrooms, a ground-floor lounge and kitchen, and a small rear courtyard — all within an average-sized 646 sq ft footprint.
The house requires some cosmetic improvement and updating: electrics, heating and internal finishes are dated, and the upper bedroom has restricted head height. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property has pre-2002 double glazing and likely solid brick walls with no insulation, so buyers should budget for efficiency upgrades. Flood risk is medium; prospective purchasers should consider survey advice and appropriate insurance.
Location is a strength — village amenities are within walking distance, with good access to the A50 and nearby towns including Uttoxeter and Ashbourne. On-street parking and a very low Council Tax band add to the low running costs. For investors, the compact layout and local rental demand present straightforward letting potential once modernised; for first-time buyers, the property represents an affordable opportunity to add value with relatively modest works.
Viewers should note rights of access exist across the rears of properties and that photographs may use a wide-angle lens. A full inspection and service checks are advised to confirm the condition of services and structure before purchase.
