Large 1,723 sq ft period home with high ceilings and sash windows
Substantial basement/cellar offering major conversion potential
Close to Thomson House Primary (Outstanding) and local green spaces
Timber-framed double glazing installed post-2002; gas central heating
Only one bathroom for three bedrooms; upstairs kitchenette present
Solid brick walls with assumed no insulation — renovation likely needed
Small garden and corner plot; excellent broadband and mobile signal
Council Tax Band F and local crime level recorded as high
This distinctive Edwardian semi-detached home offers generous living over three floors and about 1,723 sq ft, ideal for a growing family close to outstanding Thomson House Primary. High ceilings, original sash windows and wood floors lend authentic period character, while a small rear garden provides outdoor space for children and pets. The location on a corner plot gives a sense of presence yet remains within a very affluent, well-served neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
A substantial basement/cellar is a major asset: large, versatile and ripe for conversion into a playroom, home office, gym or cinema room (subject to consents). The property also benefits from timber-framed double glazing installed post-2002 and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The house’s footprint and room sizes make it straightforward to adapt living arrangements to suit modern family life.
Buyers should note clear practical issues: the home is of solid brick construction with no assumed wall insulation and parts of the interior—particularly the kitchen—show dated mid-century fittings that will need updating. There is only one bathroom for three bedrooms, council tax is high (Band F), and local crime levels are recorded as high; these are factual considerations for family buyers. Overall, this is a character-rich home with substantial scope to modernise and add value through careful refurbishment and cellar conversion.
