Beautifully presented Victorian mid-terrace arranged over three storeys, this four-bedroom home balances period character with practical family living. Two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and two shower rooms give flexibility for a growing household, while the second-floor bedroom with ensuite works well as a home office or guest suite.
The south-facing rear garden is low-maintenance and enclosed, ideal for children’s play or summer planting. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and easy walking access to local shops, buses, both mainline and city centre stations, plus several highly regarded independent schools.
Practical notes: the house is modest in overall size with a small plot and likely has cavity walls without added insulation. The area records higher crime levels than average, which some buyers may wish to consider. The home is freehold and council tax costs are described as affordable, and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
This property will suit a family seeking a period home in a sought-after St. Marys location who value good transport links and local schools, and who prefer a ready-to-move-in house with some potential to upgrade insulation and personalise interiors.
