Set on Nottingham Road in Ripley, this early 20th-century semi-detached home offers spacious, well-proportioned rooms across two floors — ideal for families or buyers seeking a sensible project. The ground floor features a bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen with pantry, and a practical downstairs WC, providing flexible living and entertaining space. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a three-piece family bathroom; total floor area is about 1,072 sqft.
Externally the property sits on a decent plot with a gravelled driveway for off-street parking, a paved patio and a mature, enclosed rear garden. The house benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Local amenities, good schools (several rated Good and one Outstanding) and reliable road and bus links put everyday conveniences close at hand, while Derbyshire countryside and parks are nearby for weekend leisure.
The house has genuine scope to add value through updating and insulation improvements. Constructed around 1900–1929 with solid brick walls and no known cavity insulation, it will likely benefit from modern insulation, kitchen and bathroom updating and cosmetic refreshes throughout. Services have not been tested and purchasers should arrange their own surveys. Council Tax Band B and freehold tenure are practical advantages for buyers.
Overall this is a sensibly priced period semi with room to modernise and personalise. It will suit a growing family wanting space in a popular Ripley location, or an investor prepared to complete modest improvements to increase rental or resale value.
