Large private gardens, double garage and flexible family space in comfortable suburbia.
Double-fronted Victorian detached house with original period features
This double-fronted Victorian detached home blends original 1842 character with a 2006 extension, offering spacious family living across multiple reception rooms and five well-proportioned bedrooms. The property sits on a large, private wrap-around garden with mature planting, a detached double garage and generous driveway parking — ideal for families seeking space and outdoor privacy.
Practical features include two modern en-suites, a large kitchen, utility room, cellar and three loft spaces for extensive storage, plus an outdoor bar and decked entertaining area. The house has been recently re-rendered externally and benefits from CCTV, an alarm system, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note a few material points: the house operates two separate boilers and electrical circuits (one housed in the garage), which may complicate maintenance; council tax and local crime levels are above average; and the property sits in a historic coal-mining county — buyers are advised to check Coal Authority records. The EPC is D58. Overall, this is a substantial period home with generous grounds and clear potential, best suited to purchasers who value space and character and who are comfortable managing dual-services and ongoing maintenance.
