Large Edwardian semi with conversion potential into two flats, chain-free and full of character.
Five generous bedrooms with high ceilings and original period features
This substantial five-bedroom Edwardian semi-detached house in Mannamead offers generous proportions, original period detail and clear income or family-living potential. Currently registered as two dwellings and chain-free, the layout includes three reception rooms, two bathrooms and a room with an existing secondary kitchen — useful for an annex or reinstating self-contained accommodation.
For investors the property presents a tangible conversion opportunity: subject to necessary planning permissions (SSTP) it could be split into two self-contained flats, or retained as a large single family home with rental income potential. The 1,773 sq ft interior, high ceilings and bay windows are strong attraction points for tenants or buyers seeking character homes close to Mutley Plain amenities.
Practical considerations are straightforward and should be factored into any offer. The EPC is rated E and the solid brick walls likely lack insulation, so energy upgrades will be needed to improve efficiency and running costs. Council Tax is low (Band B per dwelling) and the plot is small but benefits from an enclosed, low-maintenance rear garden.
Overall this is a well-maintained, character-rich property that suits buyers wanting a period home to personalise, families needing space, or investors seeking conversion/rental opportunities. Any change of use or conversion will require planning consent; purchasers should budget for energy improvements and possible modernisation works.
