Light, practical and well-presented, this two-bedroom semi-detached home on Manvers Road suits first-time buyers or those downsizing who want straightforward, low-maintenance living. The house is tidy throughout with a modern high-gloss galley kitchen and a bright lounge/dining room that opens onto a larger-than-average rear garden. Two genuine double bedrooms and a simple family bathroom complete the accommodation on a compact 574 sq ft footprint.
Outside, the cul-de-sac position and off-street parking add convenience while the generous rear garden — paved patio, pebbled areas, central lawn and a rubber-chipped zone — gives space for entertaining, play or future landscaping. The property sits in a popular Swallownest location with nearby shops, primary schools and good road links to the A57 and M1 for commuters.
Be clear about the practical downsides: the home is leasehold (long lease remaining, 734 years) and the local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators. Broadband speeds are slow locally, which may affect heavy home-working or streaming. Council tax is very low (Band A) and ground rent is nominal (£9). There are no reported flooding risks and the property requires no major works, but buyers should budget for routine updating and any personalisation they want to make.
Overall this is a sensible, accessible purchase that balances modern internal finishes and a substantial garden with a strong local amenity base. It will suit buyers seeking an affordable entry point into the area or a low-maintenance home with potential to improve outdoor space over time.
