This freehold semi‑detached house on Ringwood Avenue is a sensible, low‑risk purchase for a first‑time buyer or buy‑to‑let investor. The property offers two double bedrooms (originally three), an ensuite to the principal bedroom and a modern kitchen/diner with pantry storage. Practical extras include a single garage/workshop, driveway parking for up to four cars and a large west‑facing garden with decking ideal for evening sun.
Recent work and practical upgrades reduce immediate maintenance costs: an A‑rated combi boiler was fitted in 2022, the loft is fully boarded with lighting, a new garage door in 2023 and guttering replaced in 2025. The interior is presented with neutral decor, new carpets and usable fixtures, so the house is ready to occupy or let with minimal fuss. Council Tax Band A and low local crime add to the running‑cost appeal.
Important factual drawbacks: the EPC is band D and external walls are cavity as built with no confirmed insulation (assumed), so further improvement works could be needed to raise energy efficiency. The wider area has indicators of deprivation and ageing urban demographics, which may affect long‑term capital growth prospects. The overall footprint is average (around 711 sq ft), so space is practical but limited compared with larger family homes.
Overall this is a chain‑free, practical home with good parking and garden space, sensible recent mechanical upgrades and easy potential to reinstate a third bedroom if required. It suits buyers seeking an affordable entry to Chesterfield or landlords looking for a straightforward let in Newbold.
