No onward chain — immediate possession possible
Multigenerational layout: three receptions, three staircases, lift to first floor
Large overall size with generous room dimensions and long kitchen
Walking distance to town centre, shops and multiple schools
Solid brick construction; likely no wall insulation — retrofit needed
Medium flood risk for location
Area classed very deprived with very high crime rates — consider security
Services untested; property requires maintenance and modernisation
This large three-bedroom semi-detached period house offers true multigenerational flexibility. With three reception rooms, three staircases and a lift to the first floor, the layout already supports separate living areas or a self-contained annex for older relatives or rental income. The property is chain free and sits within walking distance of Wisbech town centre, local shops and schools.
The building is a solid-brick Victorian property (c.1900–1929) with double glazing added after 2002 and mains gas central heating. Room sizes are generous for the area, including a long kitchen and multiple reception spaces that give scope to reconfigure or open up for modern family living. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, useful for home working or tenants.
Buyers should note clear and material drawbacks. The wider local area scores as very deprived and crime levels are very high, which may affect family comfort or rental demand. The property likely has solid brick walls with no installed cavity insulation and will need maintenance and modernisation; services and appliances are untested and should be surveyed. There is a medium flood risk for the location.
For a purchaser seeking renovation potential or an income/annexe solution, this house presents readable upside: chain-free possession, substantial internal space, a decent plot and close proximity to town amenities. For families, multigenerational households or investors prepared to refurbish, the layout and size are key strengths. For risk-averse buyers, the social and environmental issues (crime, deprivation, flood risk) and likely retrofit costs are important to weigh.
