Boarded loft with lighting — potential for conversion (subject to consents)

Local recorded crime levels higher than average — consider security
This individual Victorian detached house sits on a generous, established plot on a quiet road in Uttoxeter. High ceilings, a wide bay window and original details such as Minton tiles and chimney breasts give the house strong period character and immediately feel welcoming for a family wanting space and character.
The layout includes a living room and separate dining room, fitted kitchen, utility and two shower rooms across three bedrooms. Wide driveway parking, a paved rear patio, lawned garden, workshop and summerhouse extend day-to-day living outdoors. The boarded loft already has lighting and storage and clearly offers scope for conversion (subject to consents).
Important practical points: the property has an EPC rating of E, solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and double glazing fitted before 2002. The property is being sold chain free but is not yet registered at the Land Registry, so first-registration work and an additional legal charge may apply. The local area records higher crime levels than average — buyers should consider security and insurance implications.
This home will suit buyers seeking a spacious, characterful family house with scope to modernise and personalise rather than a move-in-perfect finish. Where cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements are made, the property offers strong potential to increase comfort and value in a desirable town location with good schools and amenities close by.
