Set over multiple floors with generous ceiling heights and period detail, this substantial Victorian semi-detached house suits a growing family that values space and character. The property offers three reception rooms, five bedrooms (including a converted basement room), two bathrooms and useful garage parking with a rare inspection pit for DIY projects. A south-facing rear garden and raised deck provide outdoor space for children and summer entertaining.
The house sits close to Dane Park and Northdown Road’s independent shops, cafés and services, with several well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby — including a top-performing grammar school. Practical comforts include double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and an average overall size of about 2,153 sq ft giving flexible family living.
Buyers should note material and area considerations: the property is built with solid brick walls assumed to have no insulation, which may require upgrading for energy efficiency. The converted basement bedroom provides extra space but may have limited natural light and could need work to meet modern building or fire-safety standards. The local area classification shows significant deprivation and recorded crime levels are high — factors to weigh when considering long-term investment or family safety.
This house offers clear points of appeal — period charm, substantial living space, garage and a sunny garden — but also practical tasks and neighbourhood considerations. It will particularly suit families seeking roomy, characterful accommodation near parks and schools, and buyers open to minor refurbishment and insulation improvements to modernise comfort and running costs.
