A spacious four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house on Manley Road, offering generous family accommodation, period detail and a private garden. High ceilings, bay windows and decorative cornicing give the principal rooms character, while a large lower-ground cellar provides significant storage or conversion potential. A side driveway and detached single garage add practical off-street parking and storage.
The ground floor includes two reception rooms, a dining kitchen and a useful utility; French doors open from the second reception to the rear garden, creating easy indoor–outdoor flow. Upstairs are four bedrooms served by a single family bathroom. The property has been lived in long-term and shows many traditional features, but would benefit from modernisation in places to meet current standards and tastes.
Practical points: the house is leasehold (very long lease: 918 years), heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators, and fitted with double glazing of unknown installation date. The cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so buyers should consider potential heating/efficiency improvements. The immediate area scores as relatively deprived, though local primary schools have good Ofsted ratings and there are useful transport links and amenities nearby.
This home suits a family looking for space, character and scope to add value—whether updating interiors, insulating walls, or developing the cellar. It’s also attractive to buyers seeking a long lease and off-street parking close to schools and local services. Viewings will suit those ready to invest modestly to modernise and personalise a well-proportioned period property.
