Freehold, Victorian build with likely uninsulated solid brick walls
This sympathetically renovated two/three-bedroom Victorian terrace blends period character with contemporary fixtures, making it ready to move into. The living and dining rooms retain original fireplaces, high ceilings and period mouldings, while the kitchen and heating system are modern and recently replaced. The layout suits flexible living — main bedrooms on the first floor and an attic room used as a bedroom or home office.
Practical benefits include a new boiler and radiators, full re-wire and re-plastering, a fitted kitchen with integrated Bosch appliances, and a powered brick-built outbuilding for storage. The rear garden is a manageable, low-maintenance space with a lawn and paved area, and there’s an outside WC. Council tax is very low (Band A), and mobile signal is excellent; motorway links are within easy reach.
Notable constraints are factual and important: the attic room is understood not to meet building regulations, the plot is small with neighbour access across the garden for bin collection, and broadband speeds are slow. The property’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (typical of its era), which could affect running costs until insulated. These points should be considered alongside the recent upgrades when assessing suitability.
Overall this home will appeal to first-time buyers or buyers seeking a characterful, low-maintenance village home with modern comforts and minimal immediate works required. The combination of period detail, recent mechanical and electrical improvements, and useful outbuilding storage gives clear short-term move-in appeal and scope for modest longer-term enhancement.
