A well-proportioned Victorian mid-terrace in the heart of Abington, this three-bedroom home combines period character with sensible modern updates. The bay-fronted sitting room, separate dining room and re-fitted family bathroom give straightforward family layout on an average-sized 997 sq ft footprint. The property is freehold with gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and a useful cellar and utility room for storage.
The rear garden is small and established, suited to low-maintenance outdoor living. Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a low council tax band B, making the house economical to run for a growing family or first-time buyer. Local schools include several Good-rated primaries and an Outstanding secondary nearby.
Important negatives to note: the house was built before 1900 with solid brick walls and no assumed cavity insulation, so upgrading insulation may be advisable. Crime in the local area is above average and parking is on-street. The layout includes a single family bathroom and modest bedroom sizes, so buyers seeking lots of outdoor space or multiple bathrooms may find limitations.
Overall this is a sensible, characterful terrace for someone who values central Abington living and is prepared to carry modest energy-efficiency or cosmetic improvements to personalise the home.
