This substantial Edwardian semi delivers generous living across approximately 2,726 sq ft, recently extended and thoughtfully refurbished by the current owners. The heart of the home is a dramatic open-plan kitchen/family/dining space with high ceilings and abundant natural light, ideal for family life and entertaining. A principal bedroom with dressing area and en suite sits alongside three further bedrooms and flexible reception rooms, including a separate sitting room, utility and playroom.
Outside, the west-facing rear garden and large patio create an appealing outdoor living zone with an outdoor kitchen area. Practical benefits include off-street parking, a gated car-port and a two-storey outbuilding/studio that adds versatile space for home working, gym use or rental potential. The property is freehold, centrally located within walking distance of the city centre and served by fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Be factual about constraints: crime levels for the immediate area are recorded as very high, and the house’s original solid-brick walls were built without insulation (as-built), which may limit thermal performance despite double glazing and a modern gas boiler. Local schools span a wide range of standards; there are top-rated independent and outstanding state options nearby, but also one local academy currently rated inadequate. Overall this is a large, characterful family home offering modernised living but with some location and fabric considerations to factor into purchasing plans.
