This spacious four-bedroom semi-detached home in Alvaston offers a large plot, driveway and attached garage — a strong canvas for a family seeking long-term space or an investor aiming to add value. The house dates from the 1930s–40s and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating, but it requires full modernisation throughout.
On the ground floor a generous open lounge/diner and a galley-style kitchen offer scope to create a modern, sociable living hub. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a single family bathroom; the layout suits family living but will need upgrading to meet contemporary standards. The garage provides useful storage and could be converted (subject to planning) for extra living space or a home office.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is freehold, has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, low flood risk, and sits in a well-connected location with frequent public transport and quick road access. Nearby primary schools include Good and Outstanding Ofsted-rated options, while secondary provision is mixed.
Buyers should note key drawbacks honestly: the home needs renovation throughout, the external walls are likely solid brick with no cavity insulation (assumed), and there is only one bathroom for four bedrooms. EPC band D and a moderate council tax band reflect current energy and cost performance. This is a clear renovation project with strong potential to increase value for a family or investor prepared to update and modernise.
