A spacious five-bedroom semi-detached house on a corner plot in CB1, offering strong rental or multi-occupancy potential close to local amenities and transport links. The property includes off-street parking, a large rear garden and a generous 21ft living room — features that suit sharers, families or investor refurb projects.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: a large ground-floor bedroom and wet room provide accessible accommodation, while a fitted kitchen, second bathroom and plentiful bedroom space across two floors make the house flexible. Double glazing and gas central heating are already installed, helping with tenant appeal and comfort.
Buyers should note the house dates from the early 20th century and walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation; the EPC band is not provided. Upgrading insulation, windows or heating controls would improve energy efficiency and long-term running costs.
