This traditional mid-terrace Victorian home offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Spondon village living. With two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a compact rear garden, the layout suits a first-time buyer seeking practical space close to local shops, schools and transport links.
The property benefits from gas central heating and UPVC double glazing, and is offered freehold with no upward chain for a quick, uncomplicated purchase. The room sizes are modest but usable; the overall footprint (776 sq ft) is typical for period terraces and works well for a couple or small family.
There is clear potential to personalise and modernise the interior—the kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated—so buyers should allow for cosmetic updating. The house is solid-brick and likely has little or no wall insulation, which, together with an EPC rating of D, means energy improvements (insulation, boiler check/upgrades, glazing review) could reduce running costs and increase comfort.
Practical considerations: the plot is small and the property was built before 1900, so maintenance of older fabric should be anticipated. Council tax is low (Band A) and local crime levels are very low, supporting a cost-effective and secure move-in. Overall, this is a sensible, well-located starter home with renovation upside rather than a turnkey investment.
