A traditional five-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in Queen Street offering generous room sizes, high ceilings and period sash windows. The house is well-located a short walk from Dumfries town centre, schools and regular bus and rail links — useful for families or first-time buyers seeking town living with potential to personalise. The property currently provides a large living room, kitchen/diner, utility/WC, single family shower room and five bedrooms across three floors.
Practical strengths include gas central heating, double glazing and a low-maintenance enclosed rear garden with a summerhouse. There is clear scope to increase living space and value: the basement offers development potential and the attic-level rooms provide adaptable accommodation. At around 1,084 sq ft the layout suits multi-room family use or a multi-let investor conversion, subject to permissions.
Important drawbacks are presented plainly: the property has only one shower room for five bedrooms and an EPC rating of D. The area is classified as very deprived with a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood and constrained local rental market — factors buyers should consider for long-term value or lettings. Some internal updating and refurbishment is likely required to unlock the basement and modernise fixtures and finishes.
Offered freehold at an accessible price, this house will appeal to buyers who want to renovate and add value, families needing multiple bedrooms close to town amenities, or investors prepared to work on refit and planning. Viewers should budget for improvement works and check the home report and any planning requirements before committing.
