Mid‑terrace Victorian cottage with period features

Dated interior — requires updating and modernisation
Area shows high crime and very high local deprivation

Set on a peaceful street within the Queen's Park Estate, this three‑bedroom Victorian cottage blends period character with clear potential for growth. The house sits mid‑terrace on a small plot and retains original details — exposed beams, an aged fireplace and timber floors — but the interior is dated and will benefit from updating to suit modern family life.
At about 888 sq ft, the current layout provides two reception rooms, a long kitchen and a private courtyard garden; a side return and loft conversion (STPP) would substantially increase living space and value. The property is chain free and freehold, making it straightforward for buyers who want to start works quickly once permissions are in place.
Practical considerations are important: the area shows high crime levels and very high deprivation locally, and the plot is small compared with suburban alternatives. The house is solid‑brick with internal insulation and mains gas central heating, but buyers should budget for refurbishment to bring finishes and services up to contemporary standards.
This home will suit growing families or buyers seeking a period property to personalise and extend. It offers a rare chance to create a larger, characterful family house in a community‑minded pocket between Kensal Rise and Queen’s Park, with good local schools and strong transport and amenity links nearby.
