Three double bedrooms, period charm and basement potential backing onto a nature reserve.
Bay-fronted Victorian terrace overlooking nature park
A spacious, bay-fronted Victorian terrace overlooking Blake Street Nature Park, this three-double-bedroom home blends original character with a modern interior across four levels. Rooms are bright with sash windows, feature fireplaces and wooden floors; the top-floor bedroom offers dual aspect light and boarded eaves for storage.
Practical features include gas central heating with a combination boiler, mostly double glazing, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — helpful for home working or students. The basement currently houses the bathroom, utility room and storage and offers clear potential to develop further, subject to necessary consents.
Notable positives are the elevated decked terrace backing onto the nature reserve and the location close to the Supertram, universities, hospitals and local amenities. Council Tax Band A and a very low ground rent (£12.50/year) keep running costs modest.
Key drawbacks are factual and important: the property is leasehold (around 800 years remaining) and sits in an area with high crime and very high deprivation — factors buyers should consider for security, insurance and resale. The EPC is rated E and there is just one bathroom for three double bedrooms. Any basement conversion will need planning/consent and possibly further works.
