Affordable renovation project near university and city centre with courtyard garden potential.
Freehold mid-terrace Victorian house, 787 sq ft
This mid-terrace Victorian house on Hoopern Street is a compact, characterful two-bedroom home close to Exeter city centre and the university. The layout includes two reception rooms, a galley kitchen, sunroom, separate laundry room and a private courtyard garden — a useful outdoor spot in a central location. The property is freehold and offers 787 sq ft over two floors.
The house requires renovation: cosmetic updating and likely energy-efficiency improvements (cavity walls with no insulation assumed). Double glazing is installed but predates 2002, and the heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. These realities make the property a clear value-add opportunity for buyers who can undertake works to modernise and reduce running costs.
For first-time buyers this is an affordable entry into a well-connected part of Exeter, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Investors will recognise the rental appeal due to proximity to the university and central transport links. Planning opportunity to extend to the rear (sunroom/kitchen) is mentioned but would be subject to planning consent.
Expect a manageable courtyard garden and relatively small plot size typical of mid-terrace homes. Crime levels are average for the area and flooding risk is nil. Overall this is a practical renovation project with scope to increase comfort, efficiency and market value in a popular, central location.
