Set on Melbourne Street East in Tredworth, this two-bedroom Victorian end terrace offers a compact, period home about one mile from Gloucester city centre. The ground floor contains an open-plan lounge/diner (approx. 21ft x 11ft) leading to a kitchen with direct access to an enclosed rear garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is freehold and extends to roughly 904 sq ft overall.
Internally the house presents neutral decor and modern laminate flooring, so only minor cosmetic updating is likely required to personalise the space. The building’s period features and sash-style proportions give character while the end-of-terrace position provides slightly increased light and privacy compared with mid-terraces. An EPC inspection is booked for 10/10 and results will follow.
Be aware of a few material considerations: the plot is small with no off-street parking and the wider area is classed as deprived with higher-than-average crime. There is a medium flooding risk for the postcode and the neighbourhood is mainly private-renting new arrivals, which may affect long-term resale dynamics. Council tax is very low, which offsets some running costs.
This home is well-suited to first-time buyers wanting an affordable, central period property or to investors seeking a straightforward buy-to-let near good primary and secondary schools. The layout and size also offer scope for modest refurbishment to improve rental yield or create a more modern family home.
