This mid-Victorian terraced house on Station Road, Griffithstown, is a straightforward three-bedroom family home with strong potential for cosmetic modernisation. Two reception rooms, a bay-fronted lounge and separate dining room create flexible living space for family life, while a lean-to utility and walk-in pantry add useful storage and practical layout options. The rear lawned garden, courtyard and outbuildings offer outdoor space and scope for a home studio or workshop.
The property is sold freehold and chain-free, making it attractive to first-time buyers or families wanting a quicker move. Basic services are in place — mains gas central heating with a boiler and double glazing fitted post-2002 — so the house is liveable while you plan upgrades. The single ground-floor bathroom plus a Saniflo WC upstairs is functional but may feel limiting for larger families or modern buyers wanting an en suite.
Buyers should note clear negatives: the area records high crime and very high deprivation statistics, and the house will benefit from modernisation beyond cosmetic updating to maximise value. The Saniflo unit and dated interior fittings may require attention. Despite these drawbacks, the property’s location close to schools, shops and good transport links, combined with no onward chain, gives practical advantages for families, commuters or investors prepared to invest modestly.
Overall this is a pragmatic buy — a characterful Victorian terrace offering everyday space and garden, best suited to buyers seeking affordability and willing to upgrade over time. A viewing will quickly show the balance between concrete living space and the opportunity to improve the home’s layout and finishes.
