No onward chain and offered freehold, this three-bedroom semi in Old Whittington is a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers or investors. The house provides a large kitchen-diner, separate utility room and a spacious lounge — practical living spaces that respond well to modest modernisation.
The property is of Wimpey no‑fines (non‑standard) construction from the mid 20th century. Many lenders will consider these homes but buyers should check mortgage availability early. The house needs renovation and cosmetic updating throughout; the living room and fittings are dated and some works will be required to bring the property to contemporary standards.
Outside there is a modest front lawn and a generous rear garden with patio space for entertaining. Parking is on‑street only. The location is well connected — short walks to local shops, good primary and secondary schools and reasonable transport links to Chesterfield station and the M1.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing and a low council tax band. Notable drawbacks are the non‑standard construction type, a requirement for modernisation, above‑average local crime levels and a small plot. Investors should factor renovation costs into yield calculations; owner‑occupiers will find scope to add value with kitchen, bathroom and cosmetic work.
