Description

This freehold Grade II listed period house is arranged over four floors and is described as having six to seven bedrooms. The ground floor includes a reception hall, two kitchen areas, a separate sitting room and a bathroom. The first floor has two bedrooms and a further bathroom, with three more bedrooms on the second floor and another room on the top floor. The property is offered with no onward chain and is stated to require modernisation. Outside, there is a small paved front garden and an enclosed rear garden with paved areas, raised planting beds and a brick-built store. The listing notes that the rear garden may have scope for off-street parking, subject to permissions and consents. Close to Exeter city centre and the university, the house offers substantial existing accommodation for improvement or adaptation, subject to the relevant consents. Its listed status and the scale of the proposed works should be considered as part of any purchase appraisal.

72out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £460,000, this substantial Grade II listed period house is priced well below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. Its four floors, six-to-seven-bedroom layout, period windows and fireplaces offer plenty of scope to shape a distinctive large home or investment project close to Exeter city centre and the university.

This is a heavy, whole-house project rather than a cosmetic refresh: photographed rooms show tired finishes, while both kitchen areas, the bathrooms, rear garden and outbuildings offer scope for improvement. The roof condition cannot be assessed adequately from the available views, and any changes to this listed property or the garden’s potential parking use would need the relevant consents.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the four-floor, six-to-seven-bedroom accommodation to suit a large household or an investment use, subject to any required consents.
  • Restore and complement period features such as the tall multi-pane windows, fireplaces and mouldings while updating the tired interior finishes.
  • Modernise the two distinct kitchen areas and improve the enclosed rear garden, brick-built store and weathered outbuildings.

Key risks

  • Tired finishes across several photographed rooms, two older kitchen areas, dated bathrooms and neglected rear areas make this a substantial multi-room programme; plan for a full interior and garden overhaul rather than a cosmetic refresh.
