Victorian semi-detached with high ceilings and original fireplace
A handsome Victorian semi-detached home in Davenport offering generous living space, strong period character and modern comforts. The ground floor retains high ceilings, an original fireplace and a bay-fronted principal room; a separate dining room leads to a fitted kitchen that opens onto a large lawned rear garden — a rare private outdoor space for the area. A double-chambered cellar provides extensive storage and scope for conversion, subject to necessary consents.
Upstairs are three bedrooms (two good doubles, one used as a home office) and a single family bathroom with bath and shower over — practical for daily family life but limited for multi-bathroom needs. The house benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and affordable council tax, making it economical to run. Constructed before 1900, the solid-brick walls reflect authentic Victorian build but likely need modern insulation improvements.
Location is a key selling point: walking distance to Davenport train station, close to reputable independent and state schools, local shops and frequent bus routes. Crime levels are very low and mobile and broadband connections are strong. Note the wider area shows pockets of deprivation, and the property is on a small plot despite the large rear garden — something to consider if you need extensive outdoor space or expansion.
This home suits buyers seeking period character with practical family layout and scope to add value through sympathetic upgrading (insulation, any modernisation or cellar conversion). Viewings are recommended to appreciate the high ceilings, bay windows and private garden in this popular Stockport location.
