This two-bedroom semi-detached house offers a straightforward, affordable entry to homeownership in Alvaston. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac, the home features a bay-front lounge, a modern kitchen with garden access, two double bedrooms and a substantial private rear garden — useful for families, first-time buyers or buyers seeking rental potential.
Practical positives include a driveway with detached garage, vacant possession on completion, double glazing and mains gas central heating. The property is within walking distance of local shops and has good road and public transport links, providing easy access to the A52 and East Midlands Airport.
Be clear about the cons: the EPC is rated D and the wider area records higher crime and local deprivation indicators. The property is offered for sale at auction on 29 October 2025, which means contracts are exchangeable on the day and buyers must pay a 5% deposit (minimum £5,000) plus a non-refundable buyer’s fee (4.8% of the price, minimum £6,000 inc. VAT). Review the Legal Pack for any special conditions before bidding.
Overall, this is an affordable, average-sized home with scope to update and personalise. It suits a buyer prepared to purchase at auction and to budget for energy improvements and any targeted renovations.
