Chain-free period terrace with garden — ideal first home or small investment.
Chain-free Victorian terrace close to Taunton town centre
A chain-free Victorian terrace set a short walk from Taunton town centre, this two-bedroom home offers a rare entry opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor. The house retains period character — sash windows, a feature fireplace and high ceilings — alongside practical updates such as a recently installed gas boiler and a smart refitted shower room.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with a comfortable living room, separate dining room, galley kitchen and a ground-floor WC. Two double bedrooms sit on the first floor. Room proportions are modest, so the layout suits buyers seeking a compact city home or a buy-to-let property rather than generous living spaces.
Outside is a west-facing enclosed garden that benefits from afternoon sun and includes a powered timber shed and a brick store shed. Broadband and mobile connectivity are strong, and local schools and amenities are within easy walking distance.
The property requires further modernisation to reach contemporary standards — expect cosmetic and updating work. Note the local area is described as deprived and the property sits in a high-crime neighbourhood, which may affect resale or rental appeal. Council Tax is Somerset Band B (£2,007.48 for 2025/26). Overall, this is a practical, low-footprint freehold home with good potential for someone willing to invest modestly to modernise.
