An Edwardian mid-terrace with original period details and practical family space. The house offers three good bedrooms, two reception rooms and attractive bay windows that bring in natural light. Its traditional layout and high ceilings provide a solid canvas for updating to a contemporary family home.
Positioned a short walk from Upney station and local amenities, the location supports easy commuting and everyday convenience. Well-regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern family life. The property is freehold and has a low flood risk.
The house does require modernization: kitchens, bathroom and some internal finishes appear dated and will benefit from refurbishment. The plot is small and gardens are limited, and there is only one first-floor bathroom which may not suit larger families without adaptation. The wider area shows signs of deprivation and crime is average — factors to weigh alongside the price and potential uplift from renovation.
For buyers seeking a period home to personalise, this property offers clear scope for improvement and value-add. Investors or family buyers comfortable with a renovation project will find the combination of location, size and original features a strong starting point.
