This handsome Victorian semi delivers generous family living across approximately 1,800 sq ft. Period features — high ceilings, bay windows, original fireplaces and decorative cornicing — create an elegant, light-filled interior while practical upgrades such as double glazing (fitted post-2002) and a modern boiler provide everyday comfort.
The ground floor offers multiple reception rooms and a kitchen opening onto a secluded rear garden ideal for family entertaining and play. Off-street parking to the front and low local crime add practical benefits for day-to-day family life. The property is freehold and well placed for city commuting, within easy walking distance of Elmers End and Birkbeck stations and local bus links.
Families will value proximity to several well-rated primary and secondary schools, including Churchfields Primary (Good). The home’s size and layout suit a growing household looking for long-term space and classic period character in a popular commuter area.
Notable considerations: the house was constructed in the 1930–1949 period and external walls are solid brick with no known cavity insulation (assumed), so buyers should factor potential insulation and energy-efficiency works into future plans. Council tax is described as expensive relative to the area, which will affect running costs.
