This mid-terrace Victorian house on Gloucester Road offers substantial space (approx. 1,607 sqft) across multiple storeys and retains period character in a popular students-and-professionals area. The stone facade and bay windows provide kerb appeal, while two large reception rooms and four bedrooms suit shared living or a family layout. Offered chain free on a freehold title, it’s immediately available to occupy or let.
The property does need updating: the exterior and some internal finishes show wear and would benefit from refurbishment. Walls are original granite/whinstone with no known insulation, and double glazing install dates are unknown. There is clear potential to add value—subject to necessary consents—by updating services, modernising kitchens/bathrooms or converting the loft to provide extra accommodation.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and a small rear garden for outdoor use. The location gives easy access to local shops, pubs and transport links; several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within reach. Note the local crime level is above average for the area; buyers should consider security and insurance implications.
In short: a roomy, characterful Victorian mid-terrace with scope for improvement and uplift. It will suit an investor seeking rental income in a strong student/professional catchment or a buyer wanting to renovate for long-term family living.
