Large multi-level family home with orangery and basement gym, semi-rural views.
Four bedrooms plus basement bedroom with ensuite
Spacious semi-detached period home arranged over three floors, set on a decent plot with semi-rural views. The house combines original exterior character with a contemporary open-plan kitchen/diner, orangery light and a large central island — well suited to family living and entertaining. A full basement provides versatile space including a gym, extra living/kitchen area and a bedroom with ensuite, useful for multi-generational use or rental income.
Practical strengths include double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and a strong EPC (B81). Freehold tenure and a low Council Tax Band B make ongoing costs comparatively modest. The property’s footprint and room count offer flexibility: lounge, utility, ground-floor bathroom, three first-floor bedrooms plus basement bedroom, and a first-floor cloakroom.
Buyers should be aware of material local and building considerations. The wider area is very deprived with above-average crime statistics; that context may affect resale and tenant demand. The original granite/whinstone walls are likely uninsulated and may need insulation upgrades for long-term efficiency. Some rooms and external fabric may require modernisation or targeted maintenance despite the contemporary kitchen improvements.
This property will suit a family seeking space, countryside outlook and flexible accommodation, or an investor willing to manage local-market challenges and complete sensible energy improvements. Viewings will be most valuable for buyers prioritising size, adaptability and semi-rural location over immediate turnkey condition.
