Summary - 38, Priory Road DE55 7JT
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Ideal for first-time buyers seeking affordable entry near transport links.
Two bedrooms with separate lounge and dining room
This two-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house offers an affordable entry into the local market with practical, everyday comforts. The accommodation includes a lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Gas central heating, double glazing where specified and a compact enclosed rear garden with a paved patio create a comfortable, low-maintenance home. An outbuilding provides a WC and plumbing for a washing machine – useful for storage or conversion.
Period character is visible in the bay-windowed front room and original hardwood flooring, giving the house warmth and charm. At about 776 sq ft, the layout suits a couple or small family and benefits from fast broadband and convenient access to local shops, schools and public transport links; the M1/A38 is within reach for longer commutes. Council tax is very cheap, helping running costs.
There are important practical considerations to note. The plot is small and the area has higher crime levels and relative deprivation compared with neighbouring districts. The property dates from the early 20th century and, while partly improved, will likely need some updating and modernisation to suit longer-term needs. Solid brick walls with internal insulation mean work to the fabric should be planned carefully. Overall, this is a sensible, affordable purchase for a first-time buyer or investor willing to accept some location-related compromises and modest upgrade work.
