Set on a tree-lined street in Mapperley, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers clear potential for a buyer willing to modernise. The traditional layout includes separate front and rear reception rooms, a practical kitchen with pantry access to a private garden, and a single bathroom upstairs. The plot is a strength — decent garden space and off-road parking with a garage provide outdoor flexibility that is increasingly rare in the area.
The house is compact (approximately 589 sq ft) and shows its age: cosmetic updating and more significant renovation will be required to bring the property up to contemporary standards. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown and cavity walls are only partially insulated. These are practical items to factor into any refurbishment plan and can be improved to increase comfort and energy efficiency.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or small family looking to add value through renovation, or an investor targeting a refurbishment project in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with excellent broadband and mobile signal. Local schools include several ‘Good’ rated primaries nearby, while secondary provision is mixed; transport links are handy for local amenities.
Honest drawbacks: the home needs TLC throughout, has only one bathroom, and overall living space is small. If you see potential in classic layouts and want a home to personalise, this house provides a solid, well-located base with garage and garden — but expect renovation costs and time before maximum comfort is achieved.
