A substantial five-bedroom mid-terrace arranged over three storeys, with a basement and loft room offering flexible family accommodation. The house keeps period character — bay windows, high ceilings and original fireplaces — combined with contemporary bathroom and neutral decoration. Its location on Corporation Road places the city centre within easy reach, handy for commuting and amenities.
The layout suits a growing family who need distinct living zones: a large front reception, further sitting/dining space, a good-sized kitchen, utility room and five bedrooms including an en suite. The basement gives valuable storage or scope for conversion subject to survey and permissions. The property is freehold and offered chain free, which supports a quicker move.
Buyers should note practical considerations. The terrace was built c.1900–1929 with exterior stone walls likely uninsulated; double glazing was installed before 2002 and may not match current efficiency standards. The rear garden is small and low maintenance, and the plot is typical of urban terraces rather than a large family plot. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental demand in some markets.
A straightforward refurbishment or targeted upgrades (insulation, modern glazing, basement works) would add comfort and value. Broadband is fast and mains gas central heating is installed, while crime and mobile signal are average. A non-refundable AML administration fee of £24 (including VAT) is noted as part of the sale process and prospective buyers should arrange their own survey and legal checks.
