About
A charming, Regency era terraced house offering extended accommodation including 2 double bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom.
The property enjoys a superb, central position on an attractive street opposite Christ’s Pieces and requires refurbishment throughout. No onward chain.
This characterful, terraced house has been owned by our client for over 60 years and provides a superb opportunity to renovate a period property on the desirable Orchard Street, which is ideally positioned within proximity of the historic city centre and surrounding green spaces.
The property offers well-proportioned accommodation, which is courtesy of a two-storey extension and requires sympathetic modernisation throughout.
In brief, the ground floor accommodation comprises a living room, a dining room and a separate kitchen.
On the first floor, there are two comfortable double bedrooms and a bathroom which is fitted with a three-piece suite.
Externally, the property enjoys a private, southwest-facing courtyard garden, which is mainly paved and fully enclosed by wall and fencing.

It will be up to prospective purchasers to undertake their own checks as to its viability.
The electricity is currently on a brand new smart meter with British Gas with prepay or monthly options and prospective purchasers will only need to change the account to their name with a supplier of their choice.
