This substantial Victorian semi sits on Lewis Road and offers a large, traditional family home with genuine scope to modernise. High ceilings, bay windows and original features give strong period character; rooms are generous throughout, suitable for family living or conversion into income rooms for investors. The property is sold chain-free, so a quicker move or refurbishment programme is possible.
Practical benefits include a generous front and rear garden, rear access with hard-standing (potential for parking subject to required permissions) and a basement/storage area accessed from the rear. The house has double glazing fitted after 2002 and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, reducing immediate essential upgrades.
There are clear refurbishment needs: decorative and floor finishes require updating, there are signs of damp in the living room, and the stone walls are likely uninsulated. The house was constructed before 1900 so buyers should expect typical older-property maintenance and to commission a full survey. The surrounding area is listed as very deprived with above-average crime statistics, which may affect resale or rental demand.
This home will suit a family wanting space to personalise or an investor prepared to refurbish and improve energy performance. Internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the room sizes and layout potential, particularly if considering parking provision to the rear (planning checks advised).
