This mid-terrace Victorian home offers three double bedrooms across three floors, blending period character with practical living spaces. The living room retains an ornate cast-iron open fire and exposed wooden floors; upstairs offers a generous four-piece bathroom and two further doubles on the top floor. A fitted kitchen with adjoining utility provides everyday convenience, while a usable cellar/workshop adds valuable storage or hobby space.
The rear garden is a genuine selling point: a planted lawn, patio seating and a custom-built BBQ/firepit create an attractive outdoor entertaining area. The property benefits from uPVC double glazing and a combi boiler in the utility, and council tax is very cheap — helpful for running costs.
Buyers should be aware of material drawbacks: the EPC rating is E and the stone external walls are assumed to have no insulation, so improving energy efficiency will likely be needed. The plot is small and parking is on-street only. The immediate neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan student area with higher deprivation indicators, which may affect long-term resale for some buyers.
Overall this home suits families seeking proximity to good local schools and the town centre, or buyers looking for a character property with garden and renovation potential. The house is offered freehold and presents straightforward opportunities to improve thermal performance and modernise finishes while retaining period charm.
