This bay-fronted Victorian mid-terrace offers three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a long rear kitchen, arranged over two floors. Period details—parquet floors, coving, picture rails and original fireplaces—give character throughout while double glazing and a gas central heating system provide modern comfort. The house totals about 1,173 sq ft and benefits from a west-facing, low-maintenance rear garden with gated lane access.
The layout works well for a growing family: a front lounge and separate dining room plus an extended kitchen create flexible living space. The principal bedroom is generous and bright from the bay windows; the family bathroom includes both a freestanding bath and a separate walk-in shower. Practical extras include a large powered garden shed and potential for EV charging.
Be clear about the material points: the property sits in a very deprived area with above-average local crime rates, and council tax is above average. Construction is solid-brick 1930–49 stock with no assumed cavity insulation, so buyers should consider insulation or energy-efficiency upgrades despite the current EPC C rating.
Overall this freehold terrace will appeal to families wanting convenient city-centre access and period charm, as well as investors seeking a city rental in a well-connected neighbourhood. Viewing will show the well-presented condition and highlight where modest modernisation or efficiency improvements could add long-term value.
