Victorian stone-built end-of-terrace on a large private plot
A substantial Victorian end-of-terrace occupying a large plot in sought-after Birkenshaw, this stone-built home delivers generous family living across three floors. Original character remains in features such as high ceilings, decorative trim, fireplaces and exposed stone, while double glazing and modern heating provide everyday comfort. The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen opening to a family room, utility, cellar and four well-proportioned bedrooms — bedroom four occupies the top floor with useful eaves storage.
Outdoor space is a genuine selling point: an enclosed cottage-style garden, paved patio, mature hedging, powered summerhouse and private off-street parking for 3–4 cars. The plot offers scope for outdoor entertaining and family play, and planning permission has previously been granted to extend (ref 2008/62/91118/E1), presenting clear potential to increase living space and value.
Practical points to note: the property dates from before 1900 and walls are stone with no assumed insulation, so improving thermal performance may be desirable. There is a basement cellar and some period features that may need sympathetic maintenance. Council tax band B and a freehold tenure are positive running-cost factors for buyers.
This house will suit growing families who prioritise space, character and outdoor privacy, and buyers seeking a project with extension potential in an affluent, well-connected suburb. Local schools are highly rated and the M62 junctions are close, making the location practical for commuters.
