This bay-fronted Victorian terraced home offers ready-to-live-in family space across multiple floors, with four bedrooms and an en-suite on the top floor. The house has been extended to create a generous open-plan kitchen/diner/sitting room plus a separate living room and utility, giving flexible space for family life and entertaining. High ceilings, original tiled hall and period mouldings retain character while the layout suits modern family routines. Sold freehold and with no onward chain, it is straightforward to move into.
Practical advantages include mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing already installed, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for working from home and streaming. The property sits on a tree-lined road close to parks, shops and transport links; primary and secondary schools are in the likely catchment (subject to availability), making the location convenient for families.
There are important factors to note. The neighbourhood’s crime level is reported as very high and the wider area shows high deprivation, which will matter to many buyers. The plot is small and the house’s cavity walls are recorded as having no added insulation (assumed), and the double glazing appears to pre-date 2002 — both meaning potential ongoing energy costs and possible upgrade work. Council tax is described as expensive.
Overall, this is a characterful, extended family home that balances period features with usable, modern living space. It will particularly suit buyers seeking a spacious terraced house near parks and schools who are prepared to manage neighbourhood safety considerations and typical upgrade/efficiency works over time.
