This four-bedroom semi-detached house on College Street blends Victorian character with recently completed major works, offering a practical family layout and useful outdoor space. Upgrades include a new roof (2022), full electrical rewire with sensor lighting (2023), new guttering (2024), and uPVC Victorian-style sash windows (2024), all of which reduce short-term maintenance concerns.
Accommodation sits over two floors with a lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, utility and a family bathroom upstairs alongside four well-proportioned bedrooms. The property benefits from mains gas heating (boiler and radiators), double glazing and off-street parking, plus a private garden on a large plot — useful for children, pets or flexible outside uses.
Buyers should note a few practical issues: the overall internal size is small (approximately 937 sq ft) for a four-bedroom home, the kitchen shows mid-20th-century fittings and will likely need modernisation to suit contemporary tastes, and the original granite walls are assumed uninsulated which could affect running costs. The immediate area scores as very deprived, which may influence resale prospects and local services.
This house is well suited to a family seeking a character property with many recent structural and safety upgrades, or to buyers who want a largely move-in-ready home but with scope to update the kitchen and improve insulation over time. Viewing is recommended to judge room sizes and the relationship of indoor space to the generous external plot.
