A traditional 1930s semi-detached house on Heanor Road offered chain free and with full freehold. The property sits on a good-sized rear garden with original outbuildings, a front garden and off-street parking with garage. Its double-glazed windows, mains gas boiler and central heating provide practical everyday comfort.
Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance hall, lounge with bay window, separate dining room, kitchen with large pantry, and three well-proportioned first-floor bedrooms plus a family bathroom. At 903 sq ft the house is an average-sized family home close to schools, rail links and the M1 — convenient for commuters to Nottingham and Derby.
The house requires modernisation throughout. Decorative and functional updates are needed in the kitchen, bathroom and reception rooms; the property likely lacks wall insulation (solid brick) and will benefit from energy upgrades. Buyers should note the area records above-average crime and local deprivation indicators, and the front kerb is not dropped so any widened driveway would require council approval.
This will suit a buyer seeking renovation opportunity or an investor wanting a period property with clear value-add potential. The combination of location, garden space and scope for updating makes it a straightforward project for someone prepared to invest time and budget to modernise.
