This three-storey, five-bedroom Victorian townhouse on Longstone Road is offered chain free and presented vacant, ready for immediate occupation or rental. Generous room proportions across three floors and a recently fitted modern kitchen give the house practical, flexible living — suited to a large family or as a multi-occupancy investment (HMO potential). Two shower rooms plus a separate WC reduce morning pressure for busy households.
Set on a quiet no-through section of town-centre road, the property places shops, transport links and local amenities within easy walking distance. Low-maintenance courtyard-style front and rear spaces are private and practical, though compact — good for outdoor sitting but not large-scale gardening. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are installed throughout for comfort and efficiency.
Buyers should be aware the house sits in an area with very high recorded crime and above-average deprivation indicators; this affects resale and lettings perceptions and should be factored into valuation and insurance costs. The solid brick walls suggest limited built-in insulation, and as a pre-1900 build some buyers may want to budget for period-property maintenance or energy-efficiency upgrades.
Overall this is a straightforward, versatile property with immediate rental or family use potential, offered with vacant possession and a modern core (kitchen, bathrooms). Its town-centre location, broadband and mobile connectivity make it especially suitable for investors targeting student or professional lettings, or for families wanting convenient urban living while accepting modest outdoor space and some period-maintenance considerations.
