This extended three-bedroom detached house on Oakover Drive offers a practical family layout with immediate move-in potential and no upward chain. The property includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and a generous mature south-facing rear garden that creates a private outdoor space for children and growing families. A garage and wide driveway provide useful off-road parking.
The house benefits from gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and a solid cavity-wall construction typical of the 1950s–60s build. There is potential to increase living space further, subject to planning permission, which will appeal to buyers wanting to add value or adapt the layout for modern family living. Local amenities, excellent schools and easy commuter routes into Derby make the location particularly attractive to families and professionals.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: the home currently has a single family bathroom and an EPC rating of D, so energy-efficiency improvements could be needed to reduce running costs. The overall accommodation is average-sized (about 839 sq ft) and, while well-proportioned, a degree of updating would personalise the property and realise its full potential.
Offered freehold with low local crime and very good broadband and mobile signals, the house suits buyers seeking a solid, well-located family home with scope for enlargement. For those prioritising ready-made, high-efficiency homes, note the renovation and energy-upgrade work that may be required.
