Period character with large garden, double garage and multi‑car parking.
Edwardian semi‑detached with original period features and high ceilings
This Edwardian semi‑detached home combines original period character with later upgrades: bright bay windows, a modern kitchen and a utility room, plus a generous four‑piece family bathroom. The house sits on a large plot with a north/west facing rear garden, detached double garage and multi‑car driveway – rare for the area and useful for families with multiple vehicles.
The property is laid out in a traditional style over two floors, offering three bedrooms and comfortable living and dining rooms that retain original features and high ceilings. Practical long‑term running is supported by mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and a filled cavity wall construction from the 1930s/40s era.
Location suits families: several good and outstanding primary and secondary schools are within walking distance, and local shops, bus routes and major road links (A690) are nearby. The large garden and workshop/outhouses add scope for outdoor living, gardening or DIY projects.
Buyers should note material neighbourhood and property considerations: the wider area is classified as deprived with above‑average crime rates, and the local demographic includes a high proportion of social renters. The house’s age means there may be ongoing maintenance needs typical of pre‑1950 construction; double glazing install date is unspecified. Council Tax Band D applies.
