Characterful three-bedroom terrace near Ware station with private parking and scope to modernise.
Bay-fronted Victorian terrace with period fireplaces
This bay-fronted three-bedroom Victorian terrace sits within easy reach of Ware town centre and mainline rail, offering a rare private off-street parking space for this street. The house retains period features such as cast-iron fireplaces, sash-style windows and decorative mouldings, giving strong character and immediate kerb appeal. The property is freehold, gas-heated with double glazing, and sits in a very affluent area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — attractive for families and professionals commuting into London.
Internally the layout provides two reception rooms and an extended kitchen/dining area with straightforward flow to a small, enclosed rear garden. The footprint is average at around 947 sq ft, with a single first-floor bathroom and five principal rooms overall, so there is clear scope to reconfigure or update the space to modern standards. Construction appears to be solid brick with no internal wall insulation assumed; upgrading thermal performance could both improve comfort and reduce running costs.
Practical drawbacks are factual: the property has one bathroom, a small rear garden and a modest plot, so it suits buyers comfortable with terraced living rather than those seeking large grounds. The EPC rating is D and the walls are assumed uninsulated, so some energy-efficiency improvements may be advisable. Council tax is moderate. With good local schools, rapid access to the A10 and Ware station under a mile away, the house offers genuine potential for a family or buyer seeking a characterful home to modernise.
Overall this is a traditional Victorian terrace that will appeal to families and professionals who value location, period detail and the convenience of private parking, and who are willing to invest modestly to update insulation, heating efficiency and interior finishes.
