Property Description
This attractive three-bedroom mid-terrace offers a blend of period charm and everyday practicality. Set behind a low stone wall with a traditional front garden, the home showcases original Victorian features such as bay windows and decorative plasterwork, with the main roof replaced in 2016 for added peace of mind.
The ground floor comprises two spacious reception rooms. The front living room features a large bay window, ornate ceiling detail, and a decorative fireplace, creating a welcoming focal point. The second reception room, currently used as a dining space, overlooks the rear South facing garden and offers a quieter setting. To the rear of the home is a well-fitted kitchen with a wide range of cabinets, integrated appliances and tiled splashbacks. A large rear window ensures plenty of natural light and offers a pleasant outlook onto the garden.
The cellar has been professionally tanked, giving versatile space that could be used for storage, a workshop, or hobby room. Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms: two comfortable doubles—one with built-in storage—and a well-proportioned single, ideal as a guest room or home office. A modern, fully tiled shower room with a corner enclosure, heated towel rail and vanity unit completes the first floor.
Outside, the enclosed rear South facing garden has been designed for low maintenance with stone chippings and includes a useful storage shed. This home is ideal for those seeking a character property with practical upgrades in a convenient and well-connected part of the city.
