This charming Portland stone mid-terrace offers light, spacious living across two floors in Wakeham. A large open-plan lounge/diner and modern kitchen/breakfast room give immediate family-friendly appeal, while two double bedrooms make it an easy move-in for first-time buyers or a straightforward addition to a rental portfolio.
The property sits on a small plot with a low-maintenance rear garden and outside storage, reducing upkeep. Practical features include double glazing (installed post‑2002), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, freehold tenure, and relatively low council tax.
Honest drawbacks: the stone walls are likely uninsulated (original construction), and the listing notes the house will benefit from further modernisation in places. The area records higher crime levels than average, which is an important consideration for buyers and investors. There’s no garage and the plot is compact — good for low maintenance but limited for expansion.
Overall this is a solid period cottage with clear upside: well-proportioned reception space, attractive stone character, and strong location near amenities and schools. Buyers wanting a comfortable starter home or landlords seeking a Wakeham rental should view to assess potential updates and gauging yield or living suitability.
