Summary - Rushy Lane, Risley, Derby, Derbyshire, DE72 DE72 3SW
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious plot and characterful frontage ideal for families wanting to modernise.
Tudor Revival semi with bay-fronted lounge
This three-bedroom semi-detached home sits on a very large plot in sought-after Risley, offering a rare balance of space and period character. The Tudor Revival frontage and bay-windowed lounge give immediate kerb appeal, while the generous rear garden provides scope for extension, landscaping, or family play space. The property is freehold and reasonably sized internally at 964 sq ft, with an affordable council tax band for cost-conscious buyers.
Internally the layout is traditional: a front lounge with bay window, separate dining room, kitchen overlooking the garden, and three bedrooms served by a single family bathroom. The house has mid-20th century finishes and will suit buyers prepared to modernise — improvements expected include updating dated décor, renewing older double glazing, and adding wall insulation (solid brick walls currently assumed uninsulated). Heating is via an air-source heat pump with radiators and electric supplementary fuel.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, no flood risk, and good transport links to the A52, M1 and A50. Local schools include two rated Good primaries/secondaries nearby, and there are community amenities such as playgrounds, sports and leisure facilities close at hand. Broadband speeds are slow, which may affect home working until improved by the buyer or provider.
This house will appeal to growing families and buyers seeking a spacious garden and characterful façade who are comfortable investing in modernization. The plot size and layout offer clear potential to reconfigure or extend (subject to permissions). Be upfront about the renovation tasks — insulation, window upgrades and interior refurbishments — and you’ll find a property with solid bones and strong long-term potential.
