This characterful Victorian mid-terrace offers three double bedrooms, a spacious through lounge and a large kitchen-diner — ideal for a first home or small family. High ceilings, bay windows and stained-glass details retain period charm while modern essentials such as double glazing, gas central heating and fast broadband are in place.
Practical features include a utility area, downstairs WC and a boarded loft room with Velux windows that could serve as a hobby space or occasional guest room (limited head height). The rear garden is low-maintenance and the property is freehold and chain-free, allowing a quicker move for buyers.
Be aware of a few material considerations: the terrace was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, so further thermal upgrades could be needed. The area has above-average crime levels and a medium flood risk—both relevant for insurance and long-term running costs. Plot size is small and street parking may be limited.
Nearby schools include several well-rated state and independent options, and the wider area is popular with students and professionals, making the house suitable for owner-occupiers or as an investment. Viewing is recommended to judge layout, headroom in the loft and scope for energy improvements.
