A charming one-bedroom Victorian semi-detached cottage offered with no upward chain. The house keeps original character — exposed brickwork, beamed ceilings and a coal burner in the living room — while providing practical modern comforts such as gas central heating, double glazing and a boarded loft with power.
The layout is compact and straightforward: an open-plan living room into kitchen on the ground floor, with a double bedroom and bathroom upstairs. External space is low-maintenance: a paved front area and a small enclosed side garden with useful timber storage. Transport links are strong, with easy access to the A52, M1 and local shops in Sandiacre, Long Eaton and Stapleford.
This will suit a first-time buyer or someone downsizing who values period character and a manageable footprint. Be aware the property is on solid brick walls (likely without cavity insulation) and the plot is small — there is scope and need for energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating if desired. The single-bedroom layout limits longer-term family use but suits single occupants or couples.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, low council tax, good mobile and broadband provision, and a useable loft for storage. Important considerations: solid-wall construction may mean higher heating costs until insulated; the property’s compact size restricts extension potential without planning; and the coal burner, while characterful, will need regular servicing or replacement if preferred.
