Freehold Victorian terrace with scope to add value via heating and insulation upgrades.
Versatile 1/2-bedroom layout across four levels, good usable space
Set over four levels, this traditional mid-terrace in New Mill offers flexible 1/2-bedroom accommodation and clear scope to personalise. The stone Victorian façade and period features give immediate kerb appeal, while a sizeable living room and large attic provide usable space beyond a typical one-bedroom flat. Its freehold tenure, very low local crime, good transport links and proximity to outstanding primary and secondary schools add practical value for first-time buyers or investors.
The property is presented to a good standard but is compact on each level and arranged as a multi‑storey back-to-back terrace — this suits owners comfortable with stairs or investors seeking rental potential rather than those needing all rooms on one floor. Heating currently appears to rely on portable electric units in many rooms; while mains gas is present in the area, buyers should budget for an upgraded central heating system and confirm service condition. Walls are likely uninsulated (stone construction), so thermal improvements and loft/party-wall insulation would materially reduce bills and improve comfort.
Practical details: the lower-ground kitchen and attic room increase usable footprint but the attic has restricted head height. Parking is on-street with occasional hanging rights near the terrace; there’s no private parking. Council tax is reportedly very low and flooding risk is none, adding to running-cost appeal. Prospective buyers should commission standard surveys and service checks — measurements and appliance conditions are unverified and conveyancing should confirm exact boundaries and rights.
In short, this is a characterful, affordable freehold home with genuine scope to add value through sensible heating and insulation upgrades. It will suit a first-time buyer wanting a village base with commuter links or an investor seeking a lettable, well-located property with renovation upside.
