Description

This Grade II listed Georgian terraced house is arranged over two floors with a substantial cellar and measures approximately 2,177 sq ft in total. It stands back from Brunswick Walk, facing Midsummer Common, and retains period details including sash windows, cornicing, panelled doors and fireplaces. The house has been in the same ownership since the mid-1960s and is offered with no onward chain; the listing identifies modernisation as an opportunity.

Confidence: MEDIUM

A distinctive Grade II listed Georgian house overlooking Midsummer Common, with generous accommodation, period fireplaces, sash windows and a maintained walled courtyard. The interiors are usable but dated, giving a buyer scope for a light modernisation while retaining the house’s character; the substantial cellar adds useful utility and storage space, though staining there merits investigation.

At £1,250,000, the asking price is about 10% above the local average per square foot, and the score is held back by both that pricing and tight-looking all-in costs versus local benchmarks. The period setting and strong fundamentals give the project appeal, but the numbers call for careful buying discipline.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated finishes across the usable principal rooms to bring the house up to date while preserving its Georgian character.
  • Make the most of the generous reception spaces, original fireplaces, sash windows and period detailing.
  • The maintained walled courtyard and substantial cellar offer useful outdoor space and utility or storage potential.

Key risks

  • Staining is visible on the cellar walls; its cause and any remedial work need investigation.
  • The asking price is above the local £/sqf average, while all-in costs look tight against local benchmarks.
