This late-Victorian detached house on Cecil Road offers genuine family appeal: three well-proportioned bedrooms, two separate reception rooms with bay windows, and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The separate utility and French doors to the rear garden give practical space for family life and everyday laundry needs. The property is chain-free and freehold, simplifying purchase for a family buyer or investor seeking a straightforward transaction.
The home retains period character — bay windows, red-brick elevations and high ceilings — while benefiting from a contemporary bathroom and a recently fitted kitchen. The rear garden is mainly lawn with a gravel entertaining area and side access, suited to children and summer gatherings. Good local links include nearby schools, parkland, the Utilita Bowl and St Mary’s Stadium, with fast broadband and reasonable road/rail connections for commuters.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: parts of the interior are dated and will need redecoration or updating to personal taste, and some rooms show a traditionally tired appearance. The glazing type is double glazing but installation date is unknown, so buyers may wish to check window condition. The plot is modest for a detached home and the surrounding area scores as relatively deprived, which may influence long-term resale in parts of the locality.
Overall, this property suits a family seeking a characterful, move-in-ready kitchen and bathroom combined with scope to add value through cosmetic investment. It will also appeal to investors looking for a chain-free purchase close to city amenities and transport links.
