Set within walking distance of Christchurch town centre and the Priory, this compact Victorian mid-terrace offers a straightforward entry to the local market. The living room retains a character fireplace and the kitchen/diner provides practical everyday space; two first-floor double bedrooms sit above a bathroom and separate WC. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the property falls within the desirable Twynham School catchment.
The house is chain free and freehold, making it suitable for a quick purchase or buy-to-let investment. The small paved rear garden is low-maintenance and includes a storage shed. Construction dates from the early 20th century with double glazing fitted post-2002 and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Rooms are generally small and the overall footprint is modest, so this home best suits first-time buyers, a couple or an investor. The property will repay cosmetic updating and reconfiguration where desired — it is described as having potential to improve. On-street/resident parking only; no private driveway.
Notable factual drawbacks: compact internal space, likely need for modernisation in parts, and the local area records higher crime levels. An internal inspection is recommended to confirm room layouts and condition before purchase.
