This substantial mid-terraced Victorian house offers generous, versatile living across approximately 1,447 sq ft. High ceilings, a bay-fronted lounge and three double bedrooms create an airy period feel while a long kitchen/breakfast room and separate dining room give flexible family and entertaining space. Off-street parking to the rear and an enclosed courtyard garden add useful outdoor space for the urban plot.
The property is chain free and sold freehold, appealing to first-time buyers and growing families drawn to the Prince Rock location and outstanding local primary school. Practical benefits include double glazing installed since 2002, mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working.
There is clear need for updating and energy improvements: the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the house will benefit from modernisation to kitchens, bathrooms and decoration. The single family bathroom plus separate WC may feel tight for three double bedrooms. The plot is small and the area has higher-than-average crime and greater deprivation indicators, which buyers should weigh alongside the home’s size and school catchment.
Overall this is a large, characterful terrace with strong scope to add value through refurbishment and better insulation. It suits buyers looking for space and period features who are prepared to invest in modernisation or investors targeting rental demand in a well-connected city location.
