A bay-fronted Victorian terrace with high ceilings, original cornices and large rooms, this freehold house suits investors or buyers seeking period character. The property currently generates rental income and is let under Article 4 compliance until June 2026, providing immediate cashflow but restricting vacant possession and certain change-of-use options until that date.
Internally there are two reception rooms (one currently used as a fourth bedroom), a kitchen/breakfast room, first-floor galleried landing, three double bedrooms and a single bathroom. The house benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed post-2002) and a compact rear courtyard garden — practical for city living but modest in size.
Notable negatives are clear and should be considered: the EPC is a D, the property retains solid brick walls likely without insulation, and some rooms show dated fittings and areas at risk of damp/mould that will need modernisation. On-street permit parking only; no off-street parking. These points mean there is scope and cost for energy upgrades and internal refurbishment to improve comfort and value.
For investors the current let and central Clarendon Park location (close to University, hospitals, Victoria Park and local shops) make this straightforward to re-let to students or professionals. For owner-occupiers the house offers attractive period detail and generous room proportions but requires renovation work and energy improvements to create a comfortable long-term family home.
