Small renovation project with driveway and enclosed garden, ideal for buyers on a budget.
Chain-free freehold property with gas central heating
This compact two-bedroom semi offers an affordable entry to Matlock for buyers prepared to invest some time and money. The house is freehold, chain-free and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating; a modern shower area has already been installed. Off-road parking is provided by a paved driveway and there is an enclosed rear garden laid mainly to lawn.
The property is small in overall footprint and currently requires cosmetic updating and some refurbishment; photographs show a skip in the driveway and signs of ongoing work. Room sizes are average for a post‑war semi and the layout is straightforward: sitting room, dining kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Ceiling heights and room proportions are typical and there is limited scope to significantly reconfigure the compact plan.
Location is practical for local amenities and schools, but the surrounding area is described as very deprived with higher crime levels than average. There is no flood risk and broadband speeds are reported as fast, supporting either a starter home or a buy-to-let investment if you accept the refurbishment requirement.
Overall this is a value-led proposition for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a small, manageable project in Matlock. The benefits are clear — low asking price, driveway, garden and modern heating — balanced by the need for updating and the local socio-economic challenges.
