High-crime area and very deprived locality may affect resale/rental
This generous five-bedroom Victorian terrace spans three floors and 1,542 sq ft, offering high ceilings, bay windows and original fireplaces that give strong period character. The layout suits a growing family, multi-person household or those needing home-office space, with a bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room and a modern kitchen/breakfast room opening onto a two-tiered courtyard garden.
Practical benefits include mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators), double glazing and an EPC rating of C. The property is a freehold townhouse in a convenient Stoke location close to Victoria Park, Stoke Village amenities and several well-rated schools, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for home working. Road links to the A38 and Plymouth Dockyard are straightforward.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the roof has reported issues, the property has stone walls with no known insulation, and there is just one bathroom for five bedrooms — all items that may require immediate or medium-term investment. The area shows high crime and very high deprivation indicators, which can affect resale and rental demand for some purchasers.
Overall, this is a spacious, characterful family home with clear scope to modernise and reconfigure to suit contemporary living. It will particularly appeal to buyers who prioritise space, period detail and proximity to schools, but who are comfortable planning and budgeting for roof work, insulation and bathroom upgrades.
