This 1930s semi presents generous family living across two reception rooms, a dining area and a breakfast room — all keeping original character such as bay windows, coved ceilings and three open fires. A fully boarded loft gives useful additional space for storage or conversion (subject to consent), while a south-facing rear garden and garage with driveway offer private outdoor space and off-street parking.
The layout suits a growing family: a large master bedroom with an open fire, two further bedrooms and a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower. The property is largely ready to occupy while retaining period features; double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place.
Practical considerations: the house sits in a higher-crime neighbourhood and in a wider area described as deprived blue-collar terraces, which may affect resale and insurance. The solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so upgrading insulation and other energy-efficiency measures would be beneficial. There is only one bathroom for three bedrooms, and some rooms show mid-century finishes that buyers may want to modernise.
Positioned within walking distance of Norton High Street, good local schools and transport links, this home offers character, outdoor space and future improvement potential for buyers seeking a family-focused property with scope to add value.
