Set behind double gates on East Park Street, this Grade II listed link-detached home blends Victorian character with practical family living. Original sash windows, period fireplaces and high ceilings give the house a distinctly historic feel, while two reception rooms and a generous utility area make everyday life straightforward. The south-west facing rear garden is private and enclosed by a high brick wall, ideal for children and summer entertaining.
Internally the layout suits a growing family: four first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus a ground-floor wet room and a well-equipped kitchen. Off-street parking for up to three cars and a carport are rare conveniences in this conservation area. The property is presented in good order and benefits from double glazing fitted after 2002 and a mains-gas boiler serving radiators.
There are material considerations to factor in. Listed status means works and extensions will require consent and can be restrictive and costly. The house’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which contributes to a D energy rating and may lead to higher heating costs or the need for sympathetic energy upgrades. Prospective buyers should budget for heritage-appropriate maintenance and confirm any alteration permissions.
For families seeking a characterful town-centre home with a sizable, private garden, this property offers rare space and period detail within reach of local schools and amenities. It’s a strong choice for buyers who value historic charm and are prepared to manage listed-building constraints and potential energy improvements.
