This substantial four-bedroom semi-detached home on Emerson Road sits in the Garden City Estate, an established residential pocket close to Valentines Park and strong local schools. The house blends period character—bay windows, high ceilings, fireplaces and stripped floors—with later improvements including a loft extension with en-suite, walk-in closet and a large extended kitchen with island and bi-fold doors to the garden. Gated off-street parking and side access add practical convenience for families.
The layout suits family life: a through lounge, separate utility and ground-floor WC, plus plentiful storage and reception space across approximately 1,987 sq ft. Natural light is a feature throughout the reception and kitchen spaces, and the rear garden provides outdoor space for children and pets. Nearby transport links and a mix of good and outstanding schools make this a sensible choice for buyers prioritising education and green space.
Practical considerations are clear: the house dates from the early 1900s and has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, an EPC rating of D, and a council tax band described as expensive. The area records very high crime levels, which buyers should consider alongside the property’s many positives. Overall, this is a large family home with period charm and modern additions, offering scope for targeted upgrades to improve energy efficiency and long-term running costs.
