This traditional stone-fronted mid-terrace blends period character with practical living across three storeys. The front lounge keeps original features such as a sash window, ceiling rose and feature fireplace, while the kitchen-diner at the rear offers fitted units, a double-oven gas range and space for appliances — useful for everyday family life and entertaining.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms on the first floor, a modern bathroom, and a third double bedroom in the loft with exposed beams and eaves storage. The tiered, enclosed rear garden provides multiple seating areas for outdoor dining and play, plus two outhouses for bike and garden storage. The house is freehold and sits close to shops, buses and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools.
Practical drawbacks are factual and important: the EPC is rated D and the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs may be higher than newer properties. There is a single bathroom serving three bedrooms, and the plot is small compared with suburban gardens. Council Tax Band A makes running costs very affordable, but buyers seeking turn-key high-efficiency performance may want to budget for insulation or energy upgrades.
Overall, this well-maintained Victorian terrace is a solid choice for first-time buyers or young families wanting period character, nearby amenities and easy access to schools and transport. It offers immediate liveability with clear scope for targeted improvements to reduce energy use and personalise the home.
