This attractive stone-built Victorian semi occupies a generous plot on Devonshire Road, offering substantial family space across three floors. The house retains many original features — a mahogany staircase, stone mullioned bay window and ornate fireplaces — giving character and period charm throughout. It is offered with immediate vacant possession and no chain, ready for a new family to move in.
Accommodation includes five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large sitting room, separate dining room, breakfast kitchen and a conservatory that could be used now or enlarged to extend living space. A long, level south-facing rear garden provides a sunny private aspect and scope for rear extension. The sizeable cellar offers useful storage or development potential subject to permissions.
Practical positives include off-street tandem parking/carport, excellent mobile and fast broadband, and a location in a very strong school catchment with Dore train station and open countryside within easy walking distance. The area is affluent and well served by local amenities and sports clubs — ideal for families seeking space and access to outdoor recreation.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important to consider: some internal finishes are dated (carpets and some decor), the stone walls are historic and assumed to have no modern cavity insulation, and the age and installation date of the double glazing is unknown. Council tax is described as expensive. These points mean prospective buyers should budget for updating and possible insulation or window improvements if energy performance is important.
