A Victorian end-of-terrace house with a substantial south-facing garden

Description

This handsome Victorian end-of-terrace house offers over 2,200 sq ft of accommodation across four floors. Its generous proportions, practical layout and unusually large south-facing garden give it all the ingredients of a long-term family home. The raised ground floor makes a strong first impression, with a grand entrance hall leading into a double reception room. A shower room is tucked off the staircase. On the lower ground floor, the kitchen and separate dining room provide distinct spaces for cooking and entertaining, alongside a utility room and three additional storage cupboards. An outbuilding offers further useful space, while side access provides a practical route to the rear garden.

The first floor has the principal bedroom, a main bathroom, a utility cupboard and a smaller fourth bedroom that would also work well as a study or nursery. Two further bedrooms occupy the top floor. The property also benefits from loft storage.

The house would benefit from modernisation, giving its next owner the chance to shape the interiors around their own needs. There is also exciting potential to explore an extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.
