A spacious three-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house in the popular Polygon area, offering an extended footprint and generous living space across approximately 1,362 sq ft. The property blends original period details—bay windows, fireplaces, cornicing—with modern improvements including an extended kitchen/diner and a bright rear reception room with roof window and French doors to the garden. Its central location places restaurants, shops and excellent transport links within easy reach.
The ground-floor layout suits families or investors seeking rental potential; the open-plan kitchen/diner with shaker-style units and integrated appliances forms a sociable heart, while the rear extension creates a light, flexible living area opening to a low-maintenance courtyard garden. Three double bedrooms upstairs retain character features and the bathroom is practical and well-presented.
Practical points are clear: the property occupies a small plot and sits in a high-crime neighbourhood classification, which may affect some buyers’ priorities or insurance costs. The house dates from c.1900–1929 and while improvements have been made, some buyers may want further modernisation or upgrades. Freehold tenure, mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband are positives for long-term use or rental income.
Overall this is a sizeable period home in a lively, cosmopolitan student neighbourhood — ideal for investors seeking city-centre rental demand or buyers wanting period character with modern living spaces close to schools and amenities.
