This detached 1930s Arts & Crafts (Tudor Revival) home sits directly beside Ridgeway Park and offers substantial scope to create a striking family residence. At about 1,854 sq ft across two storeys, the house retains period details — an Ingle Nook fireplace, exposed beams and leaded windows — that give it strong character and real restoration appeal.
The property is sold freehold but requires comprehensive renovation and modernisation throughout; the building appears to be solid-brick construction with no known cavity insulation and an older boiler/radiator heating system. There is planning potential to extend (subject to consent), and both front and rear gardens plus driveway and single garage provide useful outside space and storage.
Practical advantages include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, no flood risk and proximity to several good primary and secondary schools. Downsides are material: only one bathroom for four bedrooms, likely significant refurbishment costs (including insulation, electrics and interior reconfiguration), and relatively high council tax. The local area is an urban cultural mix with pockets of deprivation — useful context for buyers considering long-term neighbourhood change.
This is a project property aimed at buyers seeking to restore period features and add modern living — whether a growing family wanting a bespoke home or a developer/investor comfortable with a renovation. With sympathetic updating and possible extension, the house could be transformed into a comfortable, characterful family home in a location that benefits from parkland and local amenities.
