Summary - 81 SWARKESTONE ROAD BARROW ON TRENT DERBY DE73 7HF
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Generous garden and driveway for family living close to village amenities.
Two double bedrooms with sun room overlooking garden
This traditional two double-bedroom semi provides a solid, characterful base in sought-after Barrow-on-Trent. The house is freehold, double-glazed and gas‑heated, with sensible room proportions across about 700 sq ft and a useful sun room overlooking the garden. EPC rating D and council tax band C are noted.
Stand-out outside space includes a substantial driveway for several vehicles and an approximately 100ft rear garden with a owner-built outbuilding/workshop — ideal for storage, hobbies or a small home business. The village location puts local shops, pubs and highly regarded primary schools within easy reach, and commuter routes (A50/A38/M1) and East Midlands Airport are close by.
Important practical points: the property needs renovation and while solid brick construction is robust, walls likely lack insulation. There is a high local flood risk and recorded higher crime levels in the area; these are material factors for buyers to investigate. The house offers excellent potential for a buyer prepared to modernise to increase comfort, efficiency and value.
Overall this is a good-value renovation opportunity for families or buyers seeking a countryside village base with large garden and parking. Investigate flood mitigation and factor renovation costs before proceeding.
