This detached three-bedroom bungalow on Elvaston Road is a rare single-storey opportunity in a quiet, affluent part of Chesterfield. Offered chain-free and freehold, the property suits buyers seeking a comfortable downsizing home or a renovation project with clear uplift potential. The compact footprint (approximately 761 sq ft) keeps running costs manageable while the decent plot offers garden and parking space uncommon for small bungalows.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: an entrance hall leads to a living room with a stone fireplace and three bedrooms plus a separate WC. The kitchen and bathroom retain much of their 1980s fit-out and will require modernisation to meet contemporary tastes. The accommodation is straightforward and will reward a buyer prepared to update fixtures, finishes and potentially services.
Outside, the plot is a strong asset. A detached garage with an electric remote door and additional off-street parking remove parking stress. The rear garden is a useful size with patio, lawn and shed — good for low-maintenance planting or a modest extension subject to planning. Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and very low local crime.
Notable drawbacks are explicit: the property needs renovation, particularly the dated kitchen and bathroom; the overall internal size is small compared with modern family homes; and the layout is traditional rather than open-plan. Buyers should allow budget for cosmetic and possible systems updating. For the right purchaser — downsizers, those seeking single-storey living, or investors after a value-add let — this bungalow offers solid potential in a stable, well-served neighbourhood.
