Summary - THE OLD POPPY FACTORY, LADYSMITH ROAD DE72 3HE
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Move-in ready Victorian semi with two receptions, two bathrooms and low-maintenance garden.
New roof, new boiler, newly fitted kitchen and bathroom
A newly renovated three-bedroom semi-detached home in Borrowash, presented ready to move into. Recent improvements include a new roof, new boiler, fitted kitchen and bathroom, plus gas central heating and uPVC double glazing. The layout provides two reception rooms, two bathrooms and a compact loft bedroom — practical for first-time buyers or growing families seeking low-maintenance living.
The house sits on a large plot with a deliberately low-maintenance rear garden: paved patio, raised beds, slate beds and a timber shed. On-street parking serves the property and the location offers easy access to local shops, cafes, schools and good transport links into Derby and Nottingham. Nearby Elvaston Castle Country Park provides pleasant local green space.
Important practical points: the home is of traditional solid-brick construction (circa 1900–1929) and the existing walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs despite the D EPC rating. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and further energy upgrades could add long-term value. The overall internal floor area is compact (approximately 497 sq ft), so bedroom and reception sizes are modest despite the property feeling deceptively spacious.
This property is freehold with a council tax band B and suits buyers wanting a move-in-ready period home with scope to improve energy performance and personalise finishes. Viewings will best show the accommodation’s sensible layout and garden potential.
