Freehold with Council Tax Band B (relatively cheap)
This large period mid-terraced house on Normanton Terrace offers spacious, character-filled living across three floors, ideally suited to a growing family or buyers seeking renovation potential. Original features — high ceilings, bay windows, fireplaces, cornices and picture rails — give the home clear period appeal, while generous reception rooms and a large overall footprint create flexible living space.
The layout currently provides three large bedrooms (originally five) with obvious scope to reintroduce partition walls to restore additional bedrooms. Two reception rooms, a dining kitchen, utility room and two bathrooms plus a separate WC provide practical day-to-day living, and the rear courtyard and small front garden offer low-maintenance outdoor space. Council Tax Band B and freehold tenure are practical benefits.
Practical considerations: the property has an EPC rating of E and solid brick walls likely without insulation, so buyers should expect energy and upgrade costs. The wider area is marked by high crime and very high deprivation indices, which may concern some purchasers and could affect rental demand or resale. The plot is small despite the large internal floor area, so external space is limited.
This is a substantial period home with clear scope to add value through reinstating bedrooms, improving insulation, and upgrading services. It will suit families wanting generous living space or investors prepared to carry out improvements to boost energy performance and layout flexibility.
