A compact two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in Ripley town centre, offered chain free and ready for a full refurbishment. At about 625 sq ft the house has a traditional layout with lounge, kitchen/diner, two first-floor bedrooms and a shower room, plus a small front forecourt and enclosed rear garden.
The property has gas central heating and uPVC double glazing (installed before 2002) but is in generally neglected condition: internal finishes, fixtures and some decorations require replacement. Solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so upgrading energy performance and insulation is a sensible early improvement.
Location is practical for local shops, schools and the A38, and the property benefits from excellent mobile coverage and ultrafast broadband — positives for rental demand or a first-time buyer wanting modern connectivity. On-street parking is available.
Material issues to note: the house sits in a former coal mining area and the local surface-water flood risk is recorded as high. The immediate neighbourhood records elevated crime levels. These factors affect insurance and long-term running costs and should be considered alongside refurbishment budgets.
This is a straightforward opportunity for an investor or an owner-occupier comfortable with renovation. With careful works — heating/service checks, electrical and possible damp checks, insulation improvements and cosmetic refurbishment — the house could provide a low-entry purchase in a convenient town-centre location.
