This chain-free, two-bedroom semi‑detached bungalow sits on Elm Street in Borrowash and is well suited to downsizers seeking single‑storey living close to local amenities. The interior is tidy and practical: a sitting room overlooking a private, south‑facing garden, a spacious kitchen‑diner with pantry, and a modern fully tiled shower room. The property benefits from UPVC double glazing, gas central heating via a combination boiler, and a detached garage reached along the side of the house.
The plot includes a paved driveway and a level rear garden with lawn and a sizeable patio, offering pleasant outdoor space without heavy maintenance. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for remote working or streaming. The home is freehold and council tax is described as cheap, set within a very affluent, low‑risk area with a short walk to village shops and services.
Internally the property is compact (approximately 571 sq ft / 53 sqm). While presented in tidy condition and broadly move‑in ready, it offers clear scope for value‑adding refurbishment — modernising kitchen finishes, reconfiguring layouts, and improving energy efficiency to move the EPC from its current D towards the reported potential. Secondary wall‑mounted gas heaters are present in bedrooms and some fittings are dated.
Important considerations: the small internal area will limit appeal to buyers needing more space and there is just one shower room. The lean‑to utility and some interior finishes are functional rather than stylish, so buyers wanting a contemporary finish should budget for cosmetic updating. Overall this is a low‑maintenance, single‑storey home that will suit downsizers, small families seeking a compact bungalow, or investors targeting steady rental demand.
