Sympathetically modernised 1901 semi with bespoke kitchen and garden, minutes from Spondon station.
Two genuine double bedrooms and stylish family bathroom
Tucked on Chapel Street, this early-1900s semi-detached house blends original character with measured modernisation. The living room centres on a multi-fuel stove and original fireplace, creating a cosy social space, while a bespoke kitchen with a six-burner range and Belfast sink gives practical, stylish cooking space. Patio doors open onto a landscaped rear garden with a decked area, summer house with electrics and a useful brick outhouse.
Arranged over two floors, the home offers two genuine double bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower. At about 696 sq ft the layout is comfortable for first-time buyers or small families seeking a commuter base — Spondon station is just minutes away with rapid links to Derby and Nottingham.
Practical points are clear: the property sits on a small plot with no private off-street parking (residents’ permits available nearby), and the solid-brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the house uses mains gas boiler and radiators; buyers may wish to budget for upgrading insulation or windows to improve energy performance.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful home in a very affluent, well-connected area. It will suit buyers who value period detail, a ready-to-live-in kitchen and garden, and who are comfortable managing modest improvement works to maximise efficiency and long-term value.
