Period proportions and a superb detached studio in a sunny rear garden.
Three double bedrooms with exposed pine flooring and fireplaces
This attractive three-bedroom Victorian family home offers generous period proportions, tall ceilings and original features throughout. The ground floor flows from a bay-fronted sitting room to a dual-aspect open-plan kitchen/dining space and family room with French doors onto a south-facing garden. A useful ground-floor w/c and under-stairs storage add everyday practicality.
Outside the neat garden is low-maintenance, mainly artificial grass with patio and decking, and a superb detached studio that includes a bathroom — ideal for a home office, hobby space or guest annexe. The property is offered chain free and sits in a residential area with a mix of family amenities and schools nearby.
Built around 1900–1929 with solid brick walls, the house retains fireplaces, exposed pine floors and decorative cornices. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. Buyers should note the property likely lacks wall insulation and may benefit from an energy-improvement program and general updating in parts to suit modern tastes.
Practical points for consideration: the home is freehold and average in overall size (about 986 sq ft), council tax is above average for the area, and local crime levels are higher than average. For a family seeking period character, flexible workspace and a sunny rear garden, this house presents genuine potential with scope to personalise and improve energy performance.
