Three-bedroom detached home in sought-after Cherry Tree area
This well-presented three-bedroom detached house in Cherry Tree, Chaddesden, is arranged over two floors with a traditional layout ideal for family life.

A long driveway provides generous off-street parking for several vehicles, with gated side access to the garden and an outbuilding fitted with electrics and a wall-mounted boiler.
Upstairs offers three bedrooms and a family bathroom; the third bedroom is compact and the property has only one bathroom, which may influence family routines. The house dates from the 1930s–40s with solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation) so buyers should consider potential upgrades to insulation and services to improve comfort and efficiency. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install age is unknown.
There is clear potential to extend outward, subject to planning permission, giving scope to increase living space and long-term value. Local amenities include several primary and secondary schools rated Good, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and straightforward road access to the A52 and M1. Note the local crime level is above average; prospective buyers may want to check local safety measures and insurance implications before committing.
Overall this property suits families looking for a spacious, characterful home in an affluent suburb with good transport and school links, and for buyers willing to invest modestly in energy and layout improvements to unlock further potential.
