This substantial Edwardian semi-detached villa blends period charm with contemporary living across three levels. High ceilings, bay windows and original features sit alongside a reconfigured kitchen/dining space, utility and three generous reception rooms — ideal for family living and entertaining.
A self-contained two-bedroom apartment provides flexible use: independent multi-generational accommodation or rental income potential. The south‑west garden, summer house, off-street parking and EV charging point add everyday convenience and outdoor space for children and pets.
Location is a strength: elevated, open views over the parkland by St Matthew’s Church and a short walk to local shops and several well-rated secondary schools. Practical details to note include older solid masonry walls likely without modern cavity insulation and double glazing of unknown age, which may affect heating efficiency.
Material drawbacks are factual: the property sits in an area identified as deprived with above-average crime and higher-than-average council tax. These local factors should be weighed against the house’s size, layout and income potential from the apartment.
