This substantial four-bedroom Victorian semi occupies a double plot in the heart of Fulwood, offering flexible living across three floors plus a self-contained studio with separate access. High ceilings, period red-brick elevations and generous room proportions create a traditional family feel, while a large integral garage and private split-level rear garden add practical space and outdoor privacy.
The house is well suited to growing families who value local amenities and good transport links; Fulwood’s schools, leisure facilities and nearby motorway connections are all within easy reach. The studio apartment provides rental or extended-family potential, while the double plot—subject to planning consent—offers genuine further development opportunity for those seeking added value.
Buyers should note the property’s practical considerations: an EPC rating of E, original cavity walls likely without modern insulation and double glazing fitted before 2002 mean energy-efficiency improvements may be necessary. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as high. These are offset by the property’s size (approx. 2,691 sq ft), generous plot and character features, making it a strong candidate for renovation, investment or continued family occupation.
Overall this period home combines character and versatility with clear scope for improvement or extension. It suits purchasers looking for a spacious family residence in a popular location, investors wanting a studio rental, or developers prepared to explore planning options on the double plot.
