This 3-bedroom end-of-terrace on Wargrave Road offers traditional Victorian character and practical living across an average-sized 962 sq ft layout. Bay-front living room, separate dining room and a useful outbuilding/utility give flexible space for family life or first-time buyers seeking more room than a flat. Two double bedrooms plus a good-sized third bedroom suit a small family or home office needs. Off-street parking via the side entry and a good-sized rear yard add everyday convenience.
The property is leasehold with an exceptionally long lease remaining (851 years) and very low council tax (Band A). Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, and the house has double glazing installed after 2002. Practical local amenities and schools are nearby, and mobile and broadband connectivity are good.
Buyers should note the Energy Performance Certificate of E and that the home is described as a small urban fixer-upper. Internal fixtures, decor and possibly some systems will benefit from updating; the property suits someone happy to modernise to improve efficiency and aesthetics. The wider area is classified as very deprived with blue-collar terraces, so long-term resale will be influenced by local market conditions.
In short: a characterful, affordable starter or investment purchase with genuine scope to add value through cosmetic improvement and energy upgrades. Transparent drawbacks — EPC rating, need for modernisation and the local deprivation profile — mean this will appeal most to buyers prioritising price, space and renovation potential over turnkey condition.
