This Victorian semi‑detached house on Frederick Avenue is a compact three-bedroom property offered as a refurbishment project. It benefits from recent mechanical upgrades — a new roof in 2021 and a combination boiler in 2022 — and an EPC currently rated C. The layout includes a bay-fronted lounge, fitted kitchen with adjoining utility, conservatory/dining area and a ground-floor bathroom with separate WC.
The rear plot is private and described as a ‘secret’ garden with established planting, offering a pleasant sheltered outdoor space once cleared and restored. Internally the home retains period character (bay window, tall ceilings) but many fittings are dated and the kitchen, bathroom and general decoration require full modernisation to bring the property up to contemporary standards.
Practical details that will matter: the property is leasehold, modest in overall size (approx. 710–775 sq ft), located in a deprived inner‑urban area with very low local crime and fast broadband. This makes it suitable for investors seeking a renovation-and-let opportunity or buyers who want to reconfigure and modernise a character home to their own specification.
Buyers should be aware this is a refurbishment project: cosmetics, possible rewiring or plumbing updates and general modernisation will be needed. A full inspection is recommended to confirm room sizes, lease length/terms and any unseen repair costs.
