Summary - 24 Meddon Street EX39 2EF
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable two-bed requiring refurbishment near Bideford town centre.
Chain free, freehold tenure
A compact Victorian mid-terrace positioned close to Bideford town centre, offered chain free and suitable for a first-time buyer or investor comfortable with renovation. The living room benefits from a large double-glazed front window and useful under-stair storage, while a kitchen with a Velux rooflight brings natural light into the otherwise modest ground-floor space. A ground-floor shower room is in place, and there is a small rear garden area useful for a seating spot, though it does not adjoin the house directly.
Upstairs provides two bedrooms: a generous front-facing double and a smaller rear room. The property is small overall (about 527 sq ft) and shows signs of wear; the interior needs updating and general refurbishment to reach modern standards. Heating is by electric room heaters and the walls are likely uninsulated granite/whinstone, so energy performance will be limited without investment.
Practical positives include double glazing fitted since 2002, freehold tenure, no flooding risk and an exceptionally central location with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Material drawbacks to factor into any offer are the need for renovation works, basic electric heating, likely wall insulation upgrades, a very small plot, and the high-crime and high-deprivation context of the immediate area which may affect rental demand and resale premiums.
For a buyer seeking a low-entry purchase in Bideford, this house offers affordable potential: renovate and modernise to improve comfort and value, or hold as a small rental investment. The property is best suited to someone prepared to plan and budget for energy upgrades, cosmetic renewal, and modest structural or services work as required.
