A substantial Georgian detached house dating from 1835, set directly on Front Street in Acomb and offered chain free. The house retains many period features — sash windows, shutters, open fireplace and high ceilings — and benefits from generous principal reception rooms, four well-proportioned bedrooms and a very large, mature rear garden with private lawn and tree screening. Driveway parking provides convenient off-street space in a town-centre location close to shops, buses and local schools.
This property represents a clear refurbishment opportunity: the layout and plot size offer scope for modernisation, internal reconfiguration or extension subject to consents. It is vacant and ready for works, making it suitable for a family seeking long-term space or an investor targeting value uplift through improvement.
Buyers should note material practical issues: the house requires updating throughout, currently has electric storage heating, an EPC rating of E, and solid brick walls assumed without insulation. Council Tax is high (Band F) and the immediate area has higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators. These factors should be weighed against the home’s size, central location and potential for improvement.
