Spacious rooms, low-maintenance garden and one off-street parking space.
Victorian two-bedroom terraced house with period features
This Victorian terraced house occupies a sought-after spot within easy walking distance of scenic Babbacombe Downs and local shops, cafés and leisure facilities. The layout feels larger than it looks, with two double bedrooms, separate sitting and dining rooms (the dining room could serve as a ground-floor bedroom) and a useful breakfast room plus kitchen. A paved, low-maintenance rear courtyard and off-street parking for one car add practical everyday convenience.
The property is freehold and retains period character—bay window, Adam-style fireplace and high ceilings—yet now requires renovation and modernisation throughout. The building was constructed before 1900 with sandstone/limestone walls likely without insulation; double glazing was fitted after 2002 and gas central heating is provided by a boiler and radiators. The EPC is D (68).
For families and buyers seeking scope to add value, the house offers flexible living spaces and good local schools within walking distance. Practical considerations include the small plot size, one-step front access, and a rear hardstanding accessed via double gates. The area shows higher levels of deprivation, so buyers should weigh long-term resale versus the property’s renovation potential.
Important factual points: the home needs upgrading, there may be a need for wall insulation improvements, and parking is limited to a single vehicle. Council Tax Band B and fast broadband/mobile coverage are positives for day-to-day living.
