This bay-fronted end terrace offers spacious, practical family accommodation across two floors with three good-sized bedrooms. The house retains period character in a solid Victorian build while providing modern comforts including gas central heating and PVC double glazing. Two large reception rooms and a fully fitted breakfast kitchen give flexible living space for family life and entertaining.
Outside there is a low-maintenance rear courtyard with Astroturf and decking, a small front lawn and a driveway to the side for off-street parking—useful in this urban setting. A large storeroom and built-in cupboards give extra storage, and loft access provides further potential for conversion subject to checks.
Buyers should note the property sits in a deprived, higher-crime neighbourhood which may affect resale and rental values; the wider area is classified as constrained for renters. The house is leasehold (999 years remaining) — a nominal lease but purchasers should confirm terms with their solicitor. Walls are believed to be original cavity construction with no added insulation, which could mean higher heating costs and potential remedial work if improved thermal performance is desired.
Overall this is a sizeable family home with strong practical features and development potential for owners or investors prepared to accept the local area challenges. It will suit families needing proximity to local schools, hospital and transport links, or landlords targeting long-term rental demand.
