Well-presented two-bedroom end terrace in a quiet cul-de-sac, offered freehold and ready to move into. The house features a spacious lounge with bay window, a modern fitted kitchen-diner, and an enclosed low-maintenance rear garden — practical for first-time buyers wanting an easy starter home. Off-street parking includes a driveway for two cars plus an allocated parking space at the rear.
Practical details suit everyday living: double glazing, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a compact footprint of about 582 sq ft that keeps running costs low (Council Tax band A). The property was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and has cavity-filled walls; glazing install date is unknown so some buyers may want to check warranty or condition.
Location is convenient for commuting and local amenities. Alvaston provides good transport links to Derby city centre and East Midlands Airport, nearby shops, leisure facilities and several primary and secondary schools. Flood risk is low and mobile and broadband connections are strong.
Considerations: the home is small and better suited to first-time buyers, couples, or investors seeking a low-maintenance rental; space and garden are modest. The wider area shows higher-than-average deprivation and some local schools have mixed Ofsted ratings, which may influence family buyers. Overall this is a practical, affordable starter home in a well-connected suburban spot.
