This three-bedroom, end-of-terrace Victorian house on Rectory Road offers solid period character with practical family living over two floors. A welcoming entrance porch leads to a bright lounge and a spacious kitchen/dining room that opens onto an enclosed patio and a low-maintenance rear garden — useful for children or outdoor storage. The property includes a cellar, ground-floor cloakroom and a first-floor family bathroom. Double glazing and a modern-style kitchen are already in place.
Being sold chain free and freehold, the house is well suited to growing families or first-time buyers seeking a manageable project in Manor Park. Room proportions are generous for the age of the house, with two larger double rooms and a smaller third bedroom for a child or home office. Local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, and transport and local amenities are close by in this major conurbation.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation, and the area is classified as deprived with above-average crime — factors that may affect running costs and insurance. The plot is small and on-street or garage parking only; outdoor space is compact. While the house is habitable, it will reward updating and possible energy-efficiency improvements.
Overall this is a practical, chain-free family home with period appeal and scope to personalise. It suits purchasers looking for a reasonably priced, characterful property near schools and amenities, prepared to invest time or budget into insulation and cosmetic upgrades.
