About this property

A 1890s red-brick Victorian terrace on Richmond Road, lived in by the current owners and their family for the last fifteen years and offered for sale as their children move on. The house extends to approximately 95 square metres and is presented as it is lived in — warm, busy, well-loved. Buyers should expect a working family home rather than a styled-for-sale interior; the bones, however, are very much intact. The original tiled path leads to a glossy red front door opening onto a small entrance hall with original Norfolk pamments tile. To the front, a small sitting room contains a restored cast-iron Victorian fireplace with red and ochre tiled cheeks, original picture rails, restored pine floorboards and a wall of family photographs hung in a slightly haphazard cluster. To the rear, a kitchen-diner runs the width of the house, fitted in painted timber tongue-and-groove cabinetry in soft brick red with a deep ceramic Belfast sink, an original Victorian tessellated tile floor and a small breakfast table for four. The first floor accommodates three bedrooms — the principal a generous double overlooking the street — and a family bathroom with a freestanding cast-iron roll-top bath. Outside, a small east-facing rear garden has been well-used with a small patio, a level lawn (showing a slightly-worn track where the children play), a small shed and a children's plastic ride-on toy resting on the lawn. On-street permit parking. Freehold, council tax C, EPC D.
