This Victorian three-bedroom semi-detached home sits on a generous plot in sought-after Borrowash, offering classic character and surprisingly spacious accommodation across about 1,378 sq ft. With large reception rooms, high ceilings and period bay windows, the house provides comfortable, flexible family living close to good schools and local amenities.
The interior is well maintained and laid out over a galleried landing with three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom with a four-piece suite. Practical features include a modern fitted kitchen, separate utility, cloakroom/WC and useful office/cubby—handy for homework or working from home. Off-street parking for several cars and a private enclosed rear garden with patio and sheds add outdoor space for play and entertaining.
Energy performance is EPC D and the property has solid brick walls with no added wall insulation (assumed), so there is clear scope to improve efficiency and reduce running costs. Double glazing was installed prior to 2002; updating heating controls or insulation would be sensible long-term investments. The house has been in the same family since 1946, reflecting careful upkeep and continuity of ownership.
Positioned for easy access into Borrowash village, the A52 and nearby M1, the location suits families who need commuting links while enjoying local green spaces such as Elvaston Castle Country Park. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale, period charm and potential to enhance energy performance and modernise where desired.
