Victorian semi-detached with original timber floors and bay front
A Victorian semi-detached home on a quiet Avenue Road just moments from Kingston town centre and Fairfield Recreation Ground. The house retains period character with a bay-fronted sitting room, original timber floors and a working wood burner, while a rear kitchen/diner with roof lights and bi-fold doors opens to a secluded patio and private lawned garden.
Set over two storeys, the layout provides two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a shower room — a practical family arrangement that will suit everyday living. The private garden and shed add outdoor space and storage, and the property’s location delivers excellent access to well-regarded schools, local amenities and fast broadband for home working.
The house will reward sympathetic updating: there is scope to modernise the kitchen and bathroom and reconfigure spaces to improve light and flow. Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the property is on a small plot, external walls are solid brick (insulation not evident), there is a medium flooding risk and local crime is recorded as very high. These factors should be considered when budgeting for works and insurance.
Ideal for families seeking a character home near excellent schools and green space, this freehold period property offers both immediate charm and clear potential to add value through careful refurbishment.
