This substantial three-bedroom Victorian terrace on Croft Terrace offers generous living space across three storeys, ideal for first-time buyers or young families wanting room to grow. The property combines period character — a red-brick bay frontage and high ceilings — with modern upgrades including a newly fitted roof and underfloor heating across the ground floor. The large converted attic provides a spacious master bedroom; two further double bedrooms and an open-plan living/dining area add everyday practicality.
The fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a four-piece tiled bathroom are ready for immediate use, reducing short-term work. External benefits include a low-maintenance rear yard, detached garage and parking for several vehicles — useful in a small-town setting. Council tax is very cheap and there is no flood risk, helping running costs stay low. Local mobile signal is excellent and several nearby primary and secondary schools have Good Ofsted ratings.
Buyers should note material local-area factors honestly: the neighbourhood sits in a very deprived district with above-average crime levels. The plot is small and outdoor space is limited compared with similarly sized properties. Broadband speeds are only average. While the house is large internally, parts may still benefit from cosmetic updating to suit personal taste.
Overall this freehold Victorian terrace offers a strong combination of space, period detail and sensible modern improvements at an accessible price. It suits first-time buyers or growing families who prioritise interior space and transportable running costs, and who are comfortable buying in an area with social and safety challenges.
