Set across four floors and extending to about 3,148 sq ft, this handsome Victorian semi-detached house offers flexible, generous living space for a growing family. Tall ceilings, original period details and large reception rooms give a sense of scale and character that’s rare so close to town. The ground floor kitchen/breakfast room opens into a glazed garden room, while an approx. 80ft south-west rear garden provides a sunny private outdoor space for children and entertaining.
Two self-contained studios with independent access create clear rental or ancillary accommodation opportunities, or can be converted into additional living space subject to consent. Off-street parking on a private driveway adds practical convenience. Local schools include two Ofsted Outstanding options and several strong primaries and secondaries nearby, reinforcing the property’s family appeal.
There are some practical considerations to allow for: the house was built in the early 1900s with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation) and has double glazing fitted before 2002, so thermal performance and heating costs may not match modern standards. The main heating is gas boiler and radiators; an upgrade could improve comfort and efficiency. Council tax is described as expensive and long-term maintenance of period features should be factored into any purchase plans.
This is a substantial, characterful home with clear potential — ideal for buyers seeking generous family accommodation with scope to modernise, or investors looking for income from separate studios. An internal viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the scale and layout.
