A rare detached Victorian family home on Gladstone Road, combining 1870s character with a spacious 1950s two-storey rear extension. The layout suits a growing household: four double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room opening to a private c.100 ft garden with mature trees, wildlife pond and substantial outbuildings. The garden cabin is insulated, double-glazed and powered — useful as a home office, studio or children’s space. Vacant possession and no forward chain make this straightforward to move into or renovate.
Practical comforts include mains gas central heating, double glazing, full-fibre broadband and recent gas/electrical safety certificates. The roof was renewed in 2008 and the property has roof and cavity wall insulation, helping running costs. Off-street parking is provided on the paved front forecourt. Council Tax Band C is described as affordable for the area.
Notable negatives are factual: this home sits in an area with higher crime levels and measurable deprivation, which will matter to many buyers. The property is an older Victorian construction (c.1870) so buyers should expect preventative maintenance and to verify structural, electrical and damp conditions despite recent certificates. There is one main family bathroom plus a separate WC; modern buyers may wish to reconfigure or add facilities. Internal finishes are a mix of period and later updates — some rooms will benefit from modernisation to fully realise value.
