Small plot size typical of Victorian mid-terrace
Situated a stone’s throw from Wollaston Village, this three-bedroom mid-terrace offers a genuine first-time-buyer renovation opportunity. The house retains period character — brick façade, two reception rooms and a cellar — and a south-facing rear garden that soaks up afternoon sun. With 898 sq ft across multiple storeys, the layout suits a young family or buyers wanting flexible living space.
The property requires full renovation throughout: cosmetic updating, likely thermal improvements (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated) and general modernisation of kitchen and bathroom. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators and the home has double glazing, though install dates are unknown. These facts make it ideal for buyers willing to invest time and budget to personalise and add value.
Practical benefits include free-to-use public parking nearby, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working — and good local schools and amenities within walking distance. The small plot size and on-street parking reflect the typical Victorian mid-terrace setting rather than a large private garden or driveway.
In short, this Cobden Street house is a characterful, well-located canvas for a buyer who wants to create a contemporary family home. Expect renovation costs and to plan for insulation and modernisation works, but also for solid bones and strong local appeal once improved.
