This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Matlock Road is offered freehold and chain-free, making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer, investor or family prepared to renovate. The house sits on a decent plot with a good-sized rear garden and straightforward access to local shops, schools and transport links into Derby and beyond.
Constructed with Wimpy No-Fines concrete, the property requires a clear scheme of improvement and modernization throughout: cosmetic updating, kitchen and bathroom works and likely mechanical and thermal upgrades. The EPC D rating and dated internal finishes mean buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements. The layout is traditional and practical, with a spacious living room, dining room, fitted kitchen, utility and three bedrooms upstairs.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, on-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for homeworking or letting. Nearby schools receive good to outstanding Ofsted ratings, which supports family buyers. However, the local area shows higher-than-average crime and economic deprivation; prospective buyers should consider security, insurance and long-term local market factors.
Overall this is a value-led opportunity: a solid-sized family home with clear renovation potential and no upward chain. It will suit someone seeking a project to add value or a family wanting a three-bedroom home they can improve over time. Obtain specialist advice about Wimpy No-Fines construction implications before committing.
