A well-proportioned three-double-bedroom end of terrace offering generous living space and a large rear garden, suitable for growing families or buyers seeking room to adapt. The property retains period character with a bay-fronted lounge/diner and high ceilings, while practical features include double glazing, gas central heating and two bathrooms. Freehold tenure and proximity to several mainline stations, bus routes and good schools add everyday convenience.
Internally the layout is traditional and spacious: a wide bay lounge/diner, separate kitchen, ground-floor shower room, utility and useful lean-to storage, plus three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The master bedroom spans the width of the house and includes built-in storage. The overall footprint is large (about 1,307 sq ft) and presents scope for cosmetic updating or reconfiguration to improve modern living flow.
Buyers should note some material points: the property dates from c.1900–1929 and has solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation), so thermal upgrades may be advisable. The plot is described as small at the front with a larger rear garden, and the local area records higher crime levels and relative deprivation—important factors for prospective families and investors to consider. Council Tax Band C and no flood risk are practical positives.
In short, this end-of-terrace balances period charm and useful accommodation with clear potential for energy and aesthetic improvements. It will most appeal to purchasers seeking space near schools and transport who are prepared to invest modestly in modernisation to unlock full value.
