Chain-free fixer with freehold share and strong refurbishment potential.
Two-bedroom first-floor apartment in period building
Set on Exwick Hill within an elegant period building, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers classic proportions and sash windows that flood rooms with natural light. The layout includes a separate living room, kitchen and bathroom across approximately 599 sq ft — a manageable size for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking a city location.
The flat is sold chain-free with a 25% share of the freehold, making ownership straightforward, but it does require full modernisation. Original features such as high ceilings and plaster moldings remain, yet internal finishes and services (electric storage heaters, likely solid-brick walls with no insulation) will need upgrading to meet modern comfort and efficiency expectations.
This is a genuine project opportunity: purchasers can add value through refurbishment and improved heating/insulation. The location sits close to local amenities, schools and bus links in a largely residential area, with low flood risk and excellent mobile and fast broadband — practical benefits for everyday living or renting.
Buyers should note potential damp risk typical of older rendered buildings and sash windows, plus the need to budget for rewiring/insulation works and heating upgrades. For those ready to invest time and capital, the flat offers character, scope and a convenient Exeter address.
