This three-bedroom semi-detached period home on Somercotes Hill offers a practical, affordable entry into Alfreton’s housing market. The house retains character features such as a bay window and feature fireplace, while recent double glazing and gas central heating provide everyday comfort. At 940 sq ft with a small rear garden, the layout suits first-time buyers or young families seeking straightforward living close to shops, schools and transport.
The interior is mostly neutral but a little dated in places — the kitchen and some fixtures would benefit from modernisation to unlock the property’s full potential. The solid brick walls (original build, likely without modern cavity insulation) mean energy-efficiency improvements would be a sensible investment. There is one family bathroom upstairs and three bedrooms of practical proportions.
Externally the property has a low-maintenance frontage and an enclosed rear garden with lawn and patio; the small plot is easy to manage but limits extension options. Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband, mains gas heating, double glazing installed post-2002 and low council tax. Buyers should note the area scores high for deprivation and has above-average crime statistics — factors to weigh alongside the property’s affordability and local good-rated schools.
Overall this home represents a credible, low-cost purchase with scope to add value through updating and energy upgrades. It’s best suited to first-time buyers or buyers seeking a manageable family home close to local amenities and schools, who are prepared to carry out cosmetic and efficiency improvements.
