Set in a sought-after spot on the edge of Ripley and close to open countryside, this newly renovated two-bedroom semi offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers. The house has been updated with a fully refitted open-plan dining kitchen and a large refitted first-floor bathroom, creating light, usable living space across two floors. A cosy lounge with a log-burning stove provides character and warmth through the colder months.
Practicalities are strong: the property is freehold, chain-free and benefits from fast fibre broadband and very low council tax (Band A). The enclosed rear garden includes a useful outdoor laundry room, a raised artificial lawn and decking, all designed for low maintenance. Local amenities, schools and the Ripley Greenway are within walking distance, and commuter routes are easily accessible.
Buyers should note a few material points: the EPC is rated D and the original solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so heating efficiency could be improved. Parking is on-street only. The plot is small and the house is a traditional Victorian build, which may present further retrofit or maintenance considerations for some purchasers.
Overall, this property suits a buyer seeking a characterful starter home that already offers modern kitchen and bathroom fittings, low running tax, and easy access to both town and countryside. A virtual 360 tour is available for remote viewing before an in-person visit.
