Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in popular Kegworth, this 1930s red-brick end terrace is offered chain-free and ready for renovation. The house is a compact, traditional two-storey home with two reception rooms, two bedrooms and a small, manageable garden with useful brick outbuildings. Its size and layout suit a buy-to-let investor or buyer aiming to add value through refurbishment.
Structurally the property is conventional solid-brick construction with double glazing installed after 2002 and LPG-fired central heating. The home requires updating throughout: cosmetic and service upgrades will be needed to modernise the kitchen, bathroom and internal décor, and there is assumed lack of wall insulation. The overall living area is modest at about 452 sq ft, so expectations should be aligned with a small two-bedroom home.
Practical positives include no onward chain, freehold tenure, potential for creating off-street parking to the front and good transport links to Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and East Midlands Parkway. Nearby schools are rated Good and local amenities are within walking distance. Buyers should note area factors: recorded higher local crime levels and an image-noted subsidence risk at the rear — a professional survey is recommended.
This property will appeal to investors seeking a renovation project or first-time buyers willing to DIY to lower purchase cost and increase value. Clear opportunities exist to improve energy performance, modernise finishes and reconfigure the small rear garden and outbuildings to suit practical needs.
