A substantial mid-19th century detached stone house set on roughly one-third of an acre with extensive gardens and a separate coach house. The property retains Victorian proportions and high ceilings throughout, offering strong character and generous internal space across approximately 1,733 sq ft and 14 rooms. It is chain free but requires full renovation throughout, so it suits someone prepared for a comprehensive refurbishment or a developer with planning ambition.
The sweeping driveway leads to private gardens on all sides and a coach house that could be converted to a garage, studio or additional living space. An architect has prepared drawings for three four-bedroom houses on the rear land, which indicates development potential; no planning applications have been submitted, and any scheme would require local authority approval.
Practical considerations: the house needs a complete modernisation and may require updating of services, finishes and potentially structural or damp-related works typical of properties of this age. The area shows higher crime and local deprivation indices and above-average council tax, which may affect resale positioning and rental demand. On the positive side, mobile signal and broadband are strong and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby.
This property will appeal to buyers seeking a period project with scope to create a substantial family home or to investors/developers who can manage renovation and planning processes. Viewers should budget for full refurbishment and factor in planning risk and local area challenges when considering value.
