A rarely available Victorian semi-detached home offering generous family living close to local schools and the university campus. Period features include bay windows, high ceilings, ornate fireplaces and stripped floors that create immediate character and warmth. The re-conditioned sash windows and gas central heating blend original charm with practical updates.
Accommodation is well-proportioned across multiple floors: two reception rooms, a luxury kitchen/breakfast room with island and integrated appliance spaces, a conservatory overlooking the garden, four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a second shower room on the top floor. The enclosed rear garden is a decent size for children and outdoor play, with a small patio and shed.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, making the house well-suited to modern working families. It sits within strong school catchments including Maiden Erlegh and other highly rated primaries, while local amenities and transport links are convenient.
Notable considerations: the property is an older build (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency upgrades. Council tax is described as expensive and local crime levels are above average. As with any older house, purchasers should verify the condition of services, fixtures and fittings before exchange.
