This bright two-double-bedroom semi-detached house offers an affordable, move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer. The living spaces are comfortable and well-presented, with gas central heating supplied by a three-year-old boiler and double glazing throughout for improved warmth and sound reduction.
Outside, a private enclosed rear garden provides a manageable outdoor space with patio, lawn and raised beds; boundaries are secure with brick walls and fencing. The property sits in a village centre location within walking distance of shops, pubs and local services, with good road links to Derby, Nottingham and the M1.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no onward chain and low council tax (Band A). Notable considerations are the EPC rating of D, double glazing installed before 2002, and the original solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation), which may mean further improvements to thermal efficiency could be desirable. The plot is small but low-maintenance, suiting buyers who prefer minimal garden upkeep.
Overall, this home is a straightforward, characterful starter property in an affluent local area with fast broadband and low flood risk. It’s an attractive purchase for buyers seeking a village setting close to larger towns, with clear potential to add value through energy improvements if desired.
