This spacious three-storey semi-detached home on Hotspur Road combines period character with flexible living space. The property offers a generous open-plan lounge/diner, a conservatory overlooking a well-kept rear garden, and a loft room that can serve as an office, studio or occasional bedroom (subject to permissions). The master bedroom includes an en-suite shower for everyday convenience.
Practical benefits include a decent plot with side access, timber shed, double glazing, mains gas central heating with radiators, and a large internal area of approximately 1,217 sq ft. Flood risk is very low and council tax is very cheap, which help keep running costs down.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property was built c.1930–1949 with solid brick walls likely lacking modern cavity insulation, so energy performance may be poorer than modern homes. The living room notes potential damp issues around the chimney breast that will need investigation and repair. The loft room’s use as a bedroom may require planning or building-regulation changes.
Located centrally in Gainsborough with shops, schools and transport nearby, the house suits first-time buyers or buyers seeking a character home with refurbishment potential. The wider area scores as very deprived and local crime is above average; buyers should consider these local factors alongside the property’s space and garden benefits.
