- Potential to extend rear and side return (STPP) for added space

Set on a quiet, tightly held street moments from Queen’s Park, this four-bedroom Victorian terrace offers an attractive mix of original detail and practical family space. The front double reception retains period features and high ceilings while the kitchen-dining area opens onto a private, south-facing garden that’s easy to maintain. The top floor provides a fourth bedroom with en suite, useful for guests or older children.
There is clear scope to increase living space by extending to the rear and into the side return, subject to the usual permissions (STPP), which will appeal to buyers wanting to add value. The house is ready to occupy but will repay refurbishment: the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, the EPC is D and some updating will improve comfort and running costs.
Practical benefits include mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local amenities, good schools and direct transport links make this a convenient family location. Note the area records higher crime levels and council tax is described as expensive — factors to weigh alongside the property’s central position and long-term potential.
This home suits a family wanting a characterful, central base they can improve over time, or buyers looking for renovation and extension potential within a sought-after pocket of Queens Park.
