Set on a popular Heavitree street, this two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace blends original character with practical upgrades. High ceilings, sash bay windows and exposed brickwork give the living spaces period charm, while double glazing and a new roof (Sept 2025) reduce immediate maintenance concerns. The layout suits buyers wanting a comfortable home close to green space and city links.
The ground floor offers a bay-fronted living room and a well-equipped kitchen/diner with integrated appliances, understairs storage and direct access to a low-maintenance, enclosed rear garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a good-sized bathroom with freestanding bath and heated towel rail. The property is freehold with council tax band B.
Location is a key benefit: Heavitree Pleasure Ground is a short walk away and local shops, cafes and regular buses to the city centre are nearby. The neighbourhood mixes students and professionals, so the area feels lively and well served by amenities. A number of highly regarded independent schools are within reach, alongside state options.
Practical points to note: walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction, so consider insulation if bought for long-term energy savings. The plot is small and the garden is low-maintenance rather than expansive. Overall this is a characterful, well-located home suited to first-time buyers or professionals seeking a manageable, move-in-ready Victorian terrace.
