Characterful two-bed terrace near Exmouth seafront — central, low-maintenance garden, some upgrading needed..
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace, approximately 852 sq ft
A compact Victorian mid-terrace positioned in central Exmouth, this two-bedroom freehold home combines period character with contemporary touches. The living room's exposed brick, wood burner and herringbone-style flooring create a cosy main reception, while a rear conservatory with a skylight adds bright flexible space ideal for a home office or snug. The courtyard garden is low-maintenance and private, suited to outdoor seating and container planting.
Practical benefits include mains gas heating via a boiler and radiators, residents’ permit on-street parking and a comparatively low council tax band. At about 852 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a manageable home close to shops, cafés, the seafront and local amenities. The property is freehold and built around 1900–1929, retaining traditional proportions and some period features.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property lies in a high flood-risk area and is in a location with above-average crime and local area deprivation, which will affect insurance and resale factors. The cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so upgrading insulation and energy efficiency will likely be needed. The plot is small and parking is on-street only. These points are factual trade-offs for the central location and character.
Overall this house offers a characterful, well-located base with scope to improve energy performance and mitigate flood and security risks. It will appeal to buyers prioritising central convenience, manageable outdoor space and period charm, willing to factor in insurance, security and insulation improvements.
