A well-proportioned Victorian mid-terrace on Rectory Road, offering two double bedrooms plus a large loft room across three floors. The house retains period character — exposed floorboards, high ceilings and feature fireplaces — and benefits from a south‑west facing rear garden and generous kitchen/breakfast room. With 1,320 sq ft overall, the layout feels spacious for a first home or couple wanting room to grow.
Practical strengths include gas central heating, double glazing and a sizeable loft room with a Velux that could be used as a bedroom, home office or hobby space. The small enclosed front yard and low‑maintenance patio garden provide private outdoor space; broadband and mobile signals are strong here, useful for remote working.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the property dates from before 1900 and the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to lack insulation, which may mean higher heating costs unless upgraded. The EPC is D and council tax is above average. The area is marked as very deprived in local indices, which may concern some buyers. The plot is small and some cosmetic updating or targeted insulation works could be needed to improve energy efficiency and running costs.
Overall this freehold terraced house offers a roomy, characterful base for first-time buyers seeking space and potential close to Canton amenities. Buyers should budget for possible improvement works (wall insulation, energy upgrades, and any modernisation) to maximise comfort and long‑term value.
