This extended two-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a generous corner plot in sought-after Darley Abbey, offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. Single-storey living, a detached garage and long driveway make it especially practical for buyers looking to downsize without sacrificing outdoor space. The property measures about 559 sq ft and benefits from gas central heating and UPVC double glazing throughout.
Internally the layout includes a spacious front-facing living room with a stone fireplace, a separate dining room with a log burner, a compact fitted kitchen and a rear lobby with laundry space. Two bedrooms and a shower room complete the accommodation. The bungalow enjoys excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working or streaming.
The main opportunity here is scope to modernise and personalise: the property requires renovation and updating to contemporary standards. Cosmetic and system upgrades will unlock better use of space and add value. The rear garden is mainly paved and low-maintenance, while planted beds and an additional patio offer scope for landscaping.
Location is a strong selling point: Darley Abbey is a pleasant village-like suburb with easy access to Darley Park, the A6, local cafés and schools rated well. Council tax is low and the area is classified as very affluent, making this a comfortable, low-hassle base for downsizers or buyers seeking a single-level home with scope to improve.
