This extended three-bedroom semi-detached house on Smithfield Avenue offers practical family living between Nottingham and Derby. The layout includes a generous entrance hall, separate lounge and dining room, and a modern kitchen with direct access to a large private rear garden — ideal for children and weekend entertaining. The property is chain free, with driveway parking, a detached garage (with inspection pit) and useful boarded loft space that could be adapted for storage or development.
The bedrooms are two doubles and a single, served by a family shower room on the first floor. Double glazing and a mains gas boiler with radiators provide efficient heating; some rooms still show mid-20th-century fixtures and soft finishes that will benefit from cosmetic updating to suit modern tastes. The solid brick construction means good structural bones, though walls are assumed uninsulated and upgrading could improve comfort and running costs.
Location is a strong asset: sought-after Trowell, close to good primary schools, shops and frequent bus and road links into Nottingham and Derby. The plot is a decent size for the area, with low-maintenance front garden and a substantial rear lawn and patios for outdoor living and play.
Buyers should note practical considerations: there is only one bathroom, some internal areas show dated finishes and carpets, and the local crime level is reported as high — prospective purchasers may wish to factor security improvements and cosmetic refurbishment into their plans. Overall, this is a solid, chain-free family home with scope to update and add value in a well-connected suburban setting.
