Quiet village living meets renovation potential in this three-bedroom semi-detached home on Woodville Road, ideal for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry purchase. The house offers two reception rooms, a ground-floor shower room and a private rear garden — all set within the National Forest village of Overseal with local shops, good primary schools and useful commuter links nearby.
The property is offered chain free and benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and solid brick construction. At around 733 sq ft the rooms are generous for the size, particularly two double bedrooms, though the kitchen and some internal decor need modernising. The EPC rating is E and the property dates from the early 20th century, so there’s clear scope to increase value with targeted upgrades.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow, parking is on-street (neighbouring properties have created driveways subject to planning), and the walls are assumed to have no insulation. These factors are typical for properties of this age and are reflected in the attractive asking price. Buyers wanting a ready-to-move-in home should allow for refurbishment costs; those prepared to renovate will find good potential to improve energy performance and resale value.
Overall, this home is a straightforward, low-cost entry into a desirable village setting. For anyone prepared to carry out cosmetic and kitchen upgrades it offers comfortable living, a sizeable garden and the chance to add value in a stable local market.
