Canal-side detached Victorian on large corner plot
Open-plan kitchen with breakfast area and two reception rooms
Three double bedrooms and large utility with downstairs W.C.
Double garage plus ample off-street parking for multiple cars
Solid brick walls, likely no cavity insulation—upgrade recommended
Single-glazed windows and EPC D; improvement work advised
Medium flood risk and higher local crime; consider insurance/security
Set on a generous plot beside the canal, this detached Victorian house offers spacious family living across multiple reception rooms and an open-plan kitchen with breakfast area. The layout includes three double bedrooms, a large utility, downstairs W.C., and a sizable garage with additional parking — practical for busy households and multiple vehicles.
The property has strong potential but requires honest attention. Constructed circa early 1900s with solid brick walls and single-glazed windows, it likely needs insulation upgrades and may benefit from modernising the heating and energy efficiency (current EPC D). There are signs of possible damp in places and the house will suit buyers prepared to carry out repairs or a targeted renovation program.
Location is a key asset: canal-side setting, corner plot with green views, and within reach of several well-rated primary and secondary schools. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, supporting home working and family connectivity. Note: the site sits in a medium flood-risk area and the local crime level is higher than average, so prospective buyers should factor insurance and security improvements into costs.
For families wanting space and character, this house provides a roomy, flexible base with scope to add significant value through insulation, glazing upgrades, and damp remediation. It’s best for buyers who value outdoor space, strong parking provision and are willing to invest to modernise and improve energy performance.
