This bay-fronted Victorian semi provides a practical three-bedroom home in central Burton-on-Trent, close to schools, shops and frequent public transport. Two bright reception rooms and large windows give the principal living spaces plenty of daylight; the long galley kitchen is light-filled and functional for family cooking. The property is freehold with low council tax (Band A), mains gas central heating and double glazing fitted after 2002.
The house is presented in generally good condition for its age and has sensible room proportions for a small family. The layout is flexible — two reception rooms plus three bedrooms offer straightforward family use or potential rental income. Broadband and mobile signal are good and local secondary schools include a number rated Good or Outstanding, which will appeal to parents.
Important practical considerations: the area records higher crime levels and significant local deprivation, which may affect buyer priorities. The plot is small with a narrow rear yard and restricted outdoor space. The property’s solid brick walls are typical of its era and likely lack modern cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern homes and improvement works could be beneficial. Cosmetic updating may be required in places to modernise finishes.
Overall this is a modest, well-located Victorian family home that suits first-time buyers, young families or buy-to-let investors seeking straightforward accommodation with good transport links. Buyers should factor in limited outdoor space, potential insulation upgrades and the local area profile when considering this purchase.
