This handsome four-bedroom period home combines generous family living with clear potential for modernisation. The grand entrance hall, high ceilings and original fireplaces give character throughout, while large reception rooms and a substantial kitchen-diner provide practical everyday space for family life and entertaining.
Upstairs offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, a bathroom and separate shower room, plus storage and a cellar for practical needs. The property sits on a large wrap-around garden with an outside workshop, garage and off-road parking — outdoor space rare for town locations and ideal for children, gardening or home projects.
The house is solidly built (pre-1900 solid brick) and retains many heritage features, but does need some updating to meet contemporary energy and comfort standards. The glazing is double but install dates are unknown, walls are assumed uninsulated and the EPC is D. Council tax is high (Band F), and buyers should factor in potential costs for insulation, heating upgrades and general refurbishment.
Offered freehold, this home will suit a family seeking a period property with scope to personalise and add value, or a buyer wanting generous internal and external space in a well-connected, affluent area. The layout and sizeable plot create clear opportunities to renovate sympathetically while preserving the house’s distinctive character.
