End of terrrace Vs terraced prices

kathrynha

We live in an end terrace, of a 70's council built estate. There is just our side path, a wall and next doors side path between our terrace and the next.
On our road the mid-terraces are 3 bedroom and the ends are 2 bedroom, but the mids are only about a foot wider.
The ends generally sell for only about £1000 less than the mids.

Advantages for end for us:
- private side path for access to the garden
- garden about 2ft wider
- Only noise from 1 side
- 1 very large and one large bedroom, as opposed to 1 large, 1 that would only just fit a double bed, and 1 funny shaped box room
- seperate kitchen, dining room and lounge, as opposed to kitchen/diner and lounge
- boiler and extractor fan pipes go straight out of the side wall, rather than needing a long pipe to get them to the back.

Disadvantages:
- we have a rather exposed corner which is prone to damp
- we don't have a spare room to dump stuff in.

In theory an end terrace could be colder, but that end wall is mainly covered by the staircase not living space, so not really that much of an issue.
