This bay-fronted Victorian mid-terrace on Shaftesbury Road is offered chain-free and ready for refurbishment. The layout provides a front lounge with bay window, separate dining room, kitchen to the rear and two bedrooms upstairs — a practical footprint for a first-time buyer or investor seeking an urban rental. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a small enclosed rear garden.
The house needs modernisation throughout: the kitchen dates from the 1970s and shows wear, and cosmetic updating is required across rooms. Walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements. There is no visible off-street parking and the plot is small, typical of inner-city terraces.
Priced to reflect its condition and offered with no onward chain, this property represents a straightforward opportunity to add value through refurbishment or reconfiguration. It sits in a family-focused area with good local schools and fast broadband, making it equally suitable for a first-time buyer wanting to personalise a home or an investor targeting rental yield in Exeter EX2.
Buyers should note the property’s refurbishment needs and modest footprint; plan for upgrade costs (kitchen, possible insulation, cosmetic works) when considering the purchase.
