Large Victorian terrace with mixed-use potential and private rear courtyard.
Extremely large overall size across three floors
A large Victorian mid-terrace on North View Terrace offering flexible accommodation across three floors. The freehold includes a ground-floor commercial unit that can continue as a business space or be converted back into purely residential use, creating potential rental or value-add opportunities. Interiors are described as spacious and bright with a contemporary living room and double glazing (install dates unknown).
The house provides three generous bedrooms, one bathroom, and a private rear courtyard — practical for families or sharers. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; walls are cavity-built but assumed to have no added insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could reduce running costs and improve comfort. Council tax is very low, helping monthly affordability.
Notable negatives are factual and important: the area records higher-than-average crime, the plot is small, and the building dates from c.1900–1929 which may mean some original fabric needs updating. Cavity walls are listed as having no insulation (assumed) and double-glazed units’ installation dates are unknown. Converting the commercial unit back to residential may require local consents and expense.
For investors the property’s size, mixed-use history and central location in DH4 make it a candidate for income or refurbishment-led uplift. For buyers seeking a family home, the large internal area and nearby good-rated schools are attractive, but factor in potential retrofit and security improvements when budgeting.
