Step into a spacious, chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached house on Somercotes Road, offered with an unusually long lease (approx. 934 years) and nominal ground rent. The property has been extended to provide generous living space across two storeys, including an open-plan lounge with a log burner, dining area and an extended kitchen — practical for everyday family life and informal entertaining.
Upstairs provides two double bedrooms, a third bedroom with loft-room access, and a single family bathroom. The loft room offers flexible space for storage, a play area or a home office. Double glazing and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators are in place, though the EPC is rated D — there may be scope for energy improvements.
Outside, the low-maintenance rear garden has a patio, lawn and a timber lodge ideal as a gym, home bar or teenage retreat. Off-street parking and a single garage add practical convenience. Local schools include several rated Good and one rated Requires Improvement; the area is a busy, multi-ethnic family suburb with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
A few practical points to note: the property is leasehold (long lease) and sits in an area flagged as relatively deprived with average local crime statistics. There is one bathroom for three bedrooms, and while the home is presented as extended and functional, buyers seeking a fully modernised, energy-efficient house may want to budget for updates.
