This extended 1930s semi-detached house offers three bedrooms, a ground-floor rear extension and a large, enclosed rear garden — ideal for families who want outside space in the city. The house is set back from the road with a driveway providing off-street parking for two vehicles and side access to the garden, making arrival and outdoor storage practical.
The property needs general renovation throughout, giving buyers scope to modernise rooms, reconfigure layouts and add insulation. The building has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), double glazing of unknown age, a gas boiler with radiators and an EPC rating of D. There is one bathroom and approximately 1,047 sq ft of living space across multiple storeys.
Location benefits include proximity to good primary and secondary schools, nearby independent shops and city amenities, and strong broadband and mobile signal — useful for professionals and students. The large garden, mature planting and substantial patio create a private outdoor retreat and add clear value for families and gardeners.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the house requires renovation and modernisation, including likely improvements to insulation and services; EPC sits at D; there's only one bathroom; and the local area records higher crime levels than average. These factors are reflected in the property’s potential to add value through targeted upgrades.
