This substantial Victorian detached residence sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a conservation area, close to Victoria Park, the station and local schools — ideal for growing families who value period character. High ceilings, bay windows, ornate fireplaces and generous room sizes give the house strong visual appeal and flexible living space across three floors.
The ground floor delivers a large lounge, dining room, fitted kitchen, pantry and useful downstairs WC. Upstairs there are three/four bedrooms (one currently used as a kitchen) plus a large principal bedroom on the top floor with a Juliet balcony and far-reaching views. Two shower rooms and an en-suite/dressing area add convenience for family living or multi-occupancy rental potential.
Practical strengths include driveway parking, an integral garage behind metal gates, a courtyard garden and newer double glazing. Heating is electric via an air-source heat system with fan coil units — energy-efficient potential but different to a gas system and reliant on electricity supply.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is in a deprived area with a higher local crime rate, council tax is Band E, plot size is small and the house is aged 1900–1929 with solid brick walls and internal insulation. An EPC is awaited and services (gas, electric, plumbing) are not confirmed; purchasers are advised to commission inspections and obtain any available guarantees before exchange.
