This generous five-bedroom end-of-terrace offers flexible family living across multiple levels, with three reception rooms and a large fifth-floor bedroom ideal as a playroom or home office. The layout includes a spacious kitchen, utility room and an integral garage, plus a wide block-paved driveway providing ample off-street parking.
The rear garden is wide and approximately 51ft deep, with patio and graveled areas for low-maintenance outdoor living. Gas-fired central heating with boiler and radiators serves the house; broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and family connectivity. Local schools rated Good–Outstanding are within reach.
The property dates from the 1930s–40s and retains characterful proportions, but sections will benefit from updating — kitchens and bathrooms show scope for modernisation and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, which could affect running costs. Council tax is expensive and crime levels in the immediate area are high, both practical factors to consider.
No services or appliances have been tested; purchasers should commission their own surveys and checks. There is clear potential to add value through sympathetic refurbishment and possible extension (subject to planning), making this a strong proposition for growing families or buyers seeking a roomy suburban home with long-term upside.
