Summary - 23, CROMDALE AVENUE, CHESTERFIELD, NEW WHITTINGTON S43 2DH
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Sunny rear garden, driveway parking and chain-free sale — ideal small-project purchase.
No onward chain — freehold with straightforward purchase potential.
Needs modernisation throughout; budget for refurbishment and service checks.
Compact footprint ~504 sq ft — cosy living, limited storage and space.
Driveway parking to the side; off-street convenience.
South-westerly rear garden with patio, good afternoon sun.
Mains gas boiler, radiators and double glazing present (dates unknown).
Low council tax (Band B) and fast broadband; excellent mobile signal.
High local crime and very deprived area — impacts desirability and resale.
A compact two-bedroom detached bungalow offered freehold and with no onward chain, suited to a buyer looking to downsize or a small household wanting a single-storey home to personalise. The layout is traditional and practical: a lounge with a bay window, two bedrooms (one currently used as a dining room), a fitted kitchen and a tiled three-piece bathroom. The property measures approximately 504 sq ft, so interiors are cosy rather than expansive.
The site is a genuine asset: driveway parking to the side and a south-westerly rear garden with a patio provide outdoor space and afternoon sun. The building dates from the 1980s and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators). Council tax is low (Band B) and broadband and mobile signals are reported strong, helping with working-from-home needs.
This bungalow requires modernisation throughout — cosmetic and likely some updating of services — so buyers should budget for refurbishment work. The surrounding area shows signs of social and economic challenge, with high local crime and very deprived area indicators; this affects amenity perceptions and resale comparables. For safety and value clarity, prospective purchasers should commission a full survey and checks on services, and factor renovation costs into any offer.
In short: a single-storey property with no chain and a sunny garden that offers a straightforward refurbishment project. It’s best suited to a downsizer or buyer seeking a modest, low-maintenance footprint who is prepared to update the interior and accept the wider area constraints.
