JG0769 -

A unique opportunity has arisen to acquire a traditional Victorian mid-terrace requiring modernisation throughout, offering flexible living space ideal for first-time buyers and investors alike. The ground floor opens into a long, versatile sitting and dining room with original timber flooring underfoot and a period fireplace as a focal point, creating a spacious through-living area that flows naturally towards the rear of the property. Beyond this, a galley-style kitchen provides functional space for food preparation, with an adjacent utility area to the rear that offers room for laundry and additional storage, while allowing direct access out into the courtyard garden. The floor plan shows a practical layout where the primary living room is 8.2m in length, giving abundant space for lounges, dining furniture and flexible use. On the first floor, two well-proportioned rooms present generous accommodation opportunities and can be used as bedrooms, hobby rooms or home office space, complemented by a bathroom serving the floor. The overall footprint and floor plan demonstrate clear potential to reconfigure and modernise the internal layout to suit contemporary living standards.

Externally, there is a paved rear courtyard providing secure outdoor space for seating, planters or a small garden, ideal for urban living with minimal maintenance. The property’s current condition is best described as requiring work, allowing a purchaser to fully personalise and enhance throughout.
