This substantial five-bedroom Edwardian semi delivers generous living space across three reception rooms and almost 2,000 sq ft — well suited to growing families needing room to spread out. High ceilings, bay windows and other period features provide character and natural light, while the large rear garden and driveway for several vehicles add practical outdoor and parking space.
Location is convenient for city living: several highly rated secondary schools are within reach, Gloucester Historic Docks and local shops, healthcare and leisure facilities are nearby. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working and family life. Gas central heating and double glazing are already installed.
Important practical points: the house sits in a very deprived neighbourhood and the local classification is described as ‘hampered’, which may affect resale and community outlook. The solid brick construction likely lacks cavity wall insulation, so heating costs and retrofit work should be considered. The property has two bathrooms serving five bedrooms, which could be a constraint for larger families without further remodelling.
Overall this is a spacious period family home with strong schooling links and clear potential for updating. Buyers seeking preserved character with scope for energy improvements and possible reconfiguration will find good value; those after a fully modern, low-maintenance finish should budget for remedial work and upgrades.
