This Victorian mid-terrace on Marlborough Road offers a practical three-bedroom layout and generous rear garden — ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property retains period character with a bay-fronted façade and separate reception rooms, giving straightforward potential to modernise while keeping original charm.
Internally the house is functional but dated: a rustic kitchen, ground-floor bathroom, and standard-height ceilings present a clear renovation opportunity to increase comfort and value. The property has double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators; the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so loft or wall insulation upgrades could improve EPC and running costs.
Location benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, and a cluster of well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby, plus local shops and good bus links. Drawbacks to note: the immediate area is marked by above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators, EPC rated D, and tenure is unspecified — buyers should verify ownership and running-cost implications before offer.
Overall this is a cost-conscious purchase with clear scope for upgrade and value-add. For buyers seeking a project with sizeable garden space and strong local amenities, the house offers practical living now and uplift through sympathetic refurbishment.
