This compact three-bedroom Victorian terrace sits just south of the city centre, a short walk from Exeter’s historic Quayside, Exe Bridge retail park and St Thomas station. The house has been well presented with an open-plan ground floor, a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, plus double glazing installed after 2002. Outside there’s an enclosed rear garden and a useful single garage accessed from the service lane.
The layout works well for a first-time buyer or small family seeking city convenience: a bay-fronted living room, separate dining area and three modest bedrooms across the first floor. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. Council Tax Band B and freehold tenure add to the running-cost appeal.
There are some practical limitations to be aware of. The property is small (about 695 sq ft) and has a single bathroom, which may feel constrained for larger households. The mid-terrace walls are cavity-built with no added insulation assumed, and the EPC is D — upgrading insulation would improve comfort and running costs. Crime levels in the area are above average, reflecting the cosmopolitan, privately rented neighbourhood character.
For investors the location near student and rental demand areas is a clear draw, while for a first-time buyer the compact, well-located layout and garage offer a manageable entry into the market. Buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and expect city-centre living trade-offs such as compact rooms and street activity.
