3 bedrooms and three reception rooms across two floors
About 1,200 sq ft of living space, freehold and chain-free
Requires full renovation—cosmetic and services need replacement
Solid brick walls with no insulation (assumed) — energy upgrades needed
Old double glazing (installed before 2002) and visible internal damage
Small, overgrown rear garden with extension potential (STPP)
Located on busy Brighton Road — higher traffic noise expected
Fast broadband, good schools nearby, no flood risk
This substantial three-bedroom Victorian terraced house offers about 1,200 sq ft of living space and clear scope for a full refurbishment. Arranged across two floors with three reception rooms, a separate kitchen and an overgrown rear garden, the layout suits a family home or a renovation-for-profit project. The property is freehold, chain-free and offered with vacant possession.
The house requires a comprehensive programme of modernisation: cosmetic and structural updating, replacement or upgrading of services, and improving thermal insulation (walls are uninsulated solid brick). Existing double glazing was installed before 2002 and the internal condition shows signs of neglect, including ceiling damage and worn finishes. There is only one main bathroom plus a separate WC, which may be limiting for some buyers.
Location strengths include fast broadband, good local transport links and proximity to several highly rated schools, making this attractive to families or owner-occupiers seeking long-term potential. The property sits on a busy main road, so expect higher ambient noise and an inner-city feel. The small rear plot is overgrown but provides potential for landscaping or a rear extension subject to planning (STPP).
This is a clear opportunity for developers, investors or buyers who want to create a bespoke family home. Buyers should budget for a full modernisation and consider thermal upgrades and possible reconfiguration to add value. No flood risk and an affluent neighbourhood profile add further reassurance about longer-term appeal.
