Guide price £220,000–£230,000. This substantial Victorian semi offers generous, well-proportioned family accommodation across just under 1,300 sqft. High ceilings, deep skirtings, decorative cornices and original fireplaces give the home strong period character while large windows flood rooms with natural light. The open-plan dining kitchen with exposed stone and a log-burning stove provides a social hub for family life. A lower-level cellar adds useful storage or hobby space.
Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing and a recently redecorated basement. The property is freehold and sits close to local shops, schools and transport links, making day-to-day travel and school runs straightforward. The small enclosed rear courtyard is low-maintenance and private, and there is on-street parking directly outside.
Buyers should note some material considerations: the sandstone walls are likely uninsulated which contributes to the EPC D rating and could mean higher heating costs unless upgraded. The plot is small and there is no driveway or garage. The home sits in an area with above-average deprivation and higher local crime levels — important for buyers prioritising community safety. Double glazing was installed before 2002, so future replacement may be needed for improved efficiency.
This Victorian semi will suit a growing family or buyer who values period detail and generous room sizes and is prepared to invest selectively in energy upgrades or security improvements. The size, central location and character create a solid base for sympathetic updating to enhance comfort, efficiency and long-term value.
