This substantial five-bedroom Victorian semi sits over multiple floors and offers generous, characterful living space for a growing family. High ceilings, bay windows and original fireplaces provide strong period appeal, while the lower-ground rooms and basement workshop add flexible space for hobbies or storage.
The rear garden is a standout feature — mature planting, patio areas, a summer house and a small river running through create private outdoor space for children and entertaining. Off-street parking to the front and freehold tenure add practical convenience for long-term ownership.
The house requires some modernisation: interiors are dated in places and there is just one main bathroom for five bedrooms. Walls are likely uninsulated (solid brick as built) and the EPC is currently D (60) with potential to C (77), so energy improvements are possible and would add value.
Location benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, affordable council tax, and good local primary and secondary schools. Note the local area profile indicates ageing urban communities and a higher-than-average local crime rate — buyers should consider this when evaluating suitability.
