A substantial Victorian townhouse arranged over four floors, the property at 12 Westbrook offers generous room sizes, high ceilings and many original period features. The basement is self-contained with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom and shower room — practical for rental income, a live-in annexe or multi-generation use. A covered carport/garage and rear workshop provide secure parking and versatile storage or workspace.
The house requires comprehensive upgrading and modernisation, presenting clear scope for value-added refurbishment. Structural fabric is solid brick with traditional joinery and decorative cornices intact, but timber windows are single glazed and internal systems will need updating. Gas central heating is in place with a separate boiler for the cellar; walls likely lack insulation.
Externally there is a small enclosed front garden, a larger garden opposite and an enclosed rear courtyard with lane access. The setting is private on a tree-lined no-through street with convenient access to local shops, regular buses and the A1(M). Note the area has significant deprivation indicators and recorded high local crime rates; purchasers should factor this into refurbishment plans and lettings strategy.
