Character semi with loft room, modern kitchen and low council tax — ideal first home.
No upward chain — ready to exchange quickly
Offered with no upward chain, this 1940s semi-detached house on quiet Barlborough Road blends period character with practical modern updates. Two reception rooms, a long galley kitchen and a full-width loft room give flexible living space across three storeys — good for a growing family, home worker or first-time buyer seeking extra room.
The kitchen, modern bathroom, new carpets in most rooms and included boiler mean the house is mostly move-in ready. A neat rear garden, paved patio and a brick outbuilding add outdoor utility and storage. Double glazing fitted post-2002 and mains gas central heating provide everyday comfort and efficiency.
Notable practical points: the plot is small and the property sits in an area with higher-than-average recorded crime, so buyers should factor security and external space constraints into their plans. Walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation, so buyers considering energy upgrades may wish to budget for insulation work.
At £150,000 and freehold with very low council tax (Band A), the house offers accessible entry to the Clowne market. Close to local amenities and good primary/secondary schools, it suits first-time purchasers or investors seeking rental potential in a town-fringe location.
