A beautifully renovated three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace combining restored period detail with contemporary open-plan living. The ground floor extension and bespoke plywood kitchen create a bright, sociable layout with bi-fold doors leading to a low-maintenance limestone-paved garden. Many original features remain, including coved ceilings, ceiling roses and bay windows, giving character alongside modern finishes.
Practical upgrades include full ground-floor rewiring, new boiler and radiators, floor and external wall insulation in the extended areas, new limecrete and ventilated timber floors, and an improved damp-proof course. The property is offered freehold with an EPC rating of C and is essentially move-in ready after an architect-led refurbishment.
Buyers should note material local considerations: the postcode sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime levels and higher-than-average council tax (Band E). The plot is small and rear garden access is via a lane; the original external walls are stone with assumed no historic insulation beyond recent targeted works. Double glazing is present though install dates are unknown.
This house suits families or buyers seeking a characterful home with contemporary living spaces and low-maintenance outdoor space, who are comfortable buying in an urban neighbourhood with higher local crime and deprivation indicators. A full survey is recommended to confirm fabric and insulation throughout the older parts of the building.
