4 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious plot, character features and scope to modernise for family living.
Four bedrooms across multiple floors, good family layout
South-facing garden, generous outdoor space for children and plants
Large detached garage with conversion potential (subject to planning)
Ample off-street parking for several vehicles
Recently rendered exterior; retains Victorian stone character
Only one bathroom for four bedrooms — may need upgrading
Solid brick walls with assumed no insulation — further work likely
Area shows higher crime and local deprivation — consider security measures
This Victorian detached house sits on a decent plot in Royston and offers genuine family space across four bedrooms and generous reception rooms. Recent external rendering and original stone features preserve period charm while giving a fresh street appearance. The property will appeal to buyers who want room to grow and personalise a home rather than a move-in-finish.
Key practical benefits include a large south-facing garden, ample off-street parking and a substantial detached garage with conversion potential (subject to planning). Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and council tax is described as affordable — helpful for household budgets. The galley kitchen is contemporary in style but narrow and lacks natural light.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: there is only one bathroom for four bedrooms, the building is solid-brick with assumed no cavity insulation, and the wider area shows indicators of deprivation and higher local crime rates. These factors may mean further investment in insulation, security, or internal modernisation is required.
For a family seeking space and character with scope to add value, this house is a practical blank canvas. If you prioritise quiet prestige locations or a turnkey finish, factor in potential refurbishment and safety considerations when viewing.
