This substantial four-bedroom Victorian villa offers generous living space across three floors, including a large lower-ground basement and detached double garage. Period features such as a high-ceilinged entrance hallway and bay-windowed lounge combine with practical modern updates, including a full re-wire completed in late 2023 and a mains-gas boiler serving radiators.
The versatile lower-ground level provides cinema, games and utility rooms — ideal for a family seeking extra living and storage, or for buyers wanting rental or home-business potential. The second-floor bedroom with adjacent dressing room/office suits flexible working from home or a quieter guest suite. The rear garden and decent plot size add outdoor appeal and useful private space.
Buyers should note a few practical issues: the property’s solid-brick walls likely lack insulation, and the double glazing dates from before 2002, so thermal and energy-efficiency improvements may be desirable. The immediate area scores as deprived with above-average crime statistics; however, local amenities include Locke Park, good primary and secondary schools, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, which support day-to-day living.
Offered freehold and chain free, this home balances generous period character, useful additional accommodation and clear scope for modernisation. It will particularly suit families wanting space close to town and parks, or buyers seeking a roomy property with cellar conversion potential.
