Summary - 12, FORDS ROAD EX2 8ER
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Well-located starter home near Exeter Quayside with garden and refurbishment potential.
Two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace with period bay front
A light two-bedroom Victorian terrace just a short walk from Exeter’s Historic Quayside and city centre. The property offers a traditional layout with bay-fronted living room, separate dining room and a small enclosed rear garden — well suited to a first home or buy-to-let near good transport links and local amenities.
The house is freehold with mains gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002). Practical features include under-stairs storage, built-in bedroom storage and handy rear access from the garden. Council Tax Band B keeps ongoing costs low and the home sits in a low flood-risk area.
Energy performance is currently rated EPC D and the property will benefit from updating throughout; the kitchen and bathroom are functional but compact. The mid-terrace, early 20th-century construction and filled cavity walls provide character but also limit extension potential without consent. Note the area records above-average crime levels, so prospective buyers should consider security improvements.
This is a straightforward purchase for a buyer wanting a well-located starter home with scope to add value through cosmetic refurbishment. Investors will find steady rental appeal given nearby student and commuter demand, while first-time buyers will appreciate the manageable size and proximity to schools, shops and transport.
