This three-bedroom Victorian semi offers an immediate move-in opportunity with period charm and practical living space. The lounge’s feature bay and restored floorboards give the house character, while a sizeable master bedroom includes built-in wardrobes. The traditional shaker kitchen with space for a range cooker and an adjoining lobby/utility cupboard suit everyday family life.
Externally the property benefits from a private rear garden with patio seating and potential to create off-street parking from the rear access (subject to consents). It is chain free and close to local shops, Woolston train station and several well-rated primary schools, making it convenient for commuting and families.
Buyers should note this is a small overall home (approx. 781 sqft) in a very deprived, high-crime area — factors that affect resale and insurance. The house was built before 1900 with cavity walls that appear uninsulated and has double glazing installed before 2002, so updating to modern energy standards will likely be needed. There is one family bathroom only, and the plot is modest in size.
This property suits first-time buyers or anyone seeking a period home to improve and personalise. Its low council tax, good broadband and excellent mobile signal are practical advantages, but budget for insulation, possible heating upgrades and any external works to create formal parking.
