This substantial Victorian semi‑detached house offers generous family accommodation across three floors with seven bedrooms and abundant reception space. The stone front, bay windows and period details give immediate character, while the 2007 single‑storey extension and loft conversions increase usable living space and natural light. The property sits on a large east‑facing plot with a lawn, patio, summer house and gated access to Station Road — convenient for the town centre and rail links.
Internally there are multiple reception rooms, an open‑plan breakfast area into a shaker‑style kitchen and a glazed garden room ideal for informal family living. The extension provides an additional living room, shower room and utility — practical for a busy household. Off‑street parking for two cars and mains gas central heating add day‑to‑day convenience.
Buyers should note material points plainly: the house was considerably altered and enlarged over time and will suit purchasers looking to update and personalise rather than a turnkey move‑in. External walls are the original granite/whinstone with assumed no cavity insulation and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so further thermal improvements are likely required. Council Tax Band H is high and the immediate area is recorded as very deprived, which may affect future resale or rental values.
Overall this is a rare, large family home for those prioritising space, period character and proximity to local amenities and transport. It suits growing families or buyers seeking conversion/modernisation potential while retaining strong room proportions and garden space.
