SITUATION
This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a well kept late Victorian bay window fronted terraced house which has been in the same ownership for nearly 60 years and occupying a well regarded cul-de-sac position an easy walk from the shops in St Thomas and also the popular St Thomas pleasure ground. The accommodation provided is comfortable, full of character and oozes great potential for further enhancement and updating. The property benefits from upvc double glazing throughout, there is a good gas fired central heating system with a combination Baxi boiler and to the rear there is a safe level enclosed low maintenance paved courtyard garden with stores.
The situation is, as previously mentioned, well regarded. Rugby Road is a quite quiet and rather popular cul-de-sac just a short level walk from the many amenities that can be found in Cowick Street including a variety of shops and small businesses. There are several schools close at hand and the river Exe with its many walks and cycle paths is also within easy reach. The city centre with its very extensive facilities and amenities is only just over 1/2 mile away and the sole agents wholeheartedly recommend early inspection.
This property would be perfect for first time buyers starting out and would be equally suitable for investment purposes.
