This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Matlock Road is aimed at first-time buyers or young families seeking an affordable starter home in Chaddesden. The ground floor has been opened into a light kitchen/dining area flowing to the lounge, creating a practical social space for daily life. A decent rear garden, timber decking and artificial lawn give immediate outdoor appeal and scope for family activities.
The property is freehold, with mains gas central heating, double glazing and a useful utility room. There is clear potential to extend (subject to planning permission), and the plot and garage potential offer scope to add value for buyers willing to invest. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for home working.
Buyers should be aware of material negatives: the area is classified as deprived and records above-average crime, and the house is of mid‑20th century system-built construction with assumed lack of wall insulation — energy upgrades are likely needed. Accommodation includes a single bathroom plus separate WC, and some further refurbishment will be required to modernise finishes and improve thermal performance.
Nearby schools have good Ofsted ratings and local amenities are within reach, making this property practical for growing households. Priced for the market, it represents a realistic purchase for someone seeking an affordable home with straightforward improvement and extension potential.
