Chain free two-bedroom semi-detached house
Offered chain free, this two-bedroom semi delivers a solid, affordable entry into Somercotes with practical living space and useful upkeep already in place. The property benefits from gas central heating, UPVc double glazing and a large kitchen/diner that opens easily to a low-maintenance rear garden and parking for one car — sensible features for a first home or buy-to-let.
The layout is traditional and well-proportioned: a front lounge with bay window, a spacious kitchen/diner, cloakroom WC and utility area on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom above. The house is ready to occupy but presents straightforward scope for cosmetic improvement or energy-efficiency upgrades to add value.
Important considerations: the area scores high on deprivation and local crime is above average, so buyers should weigh community factors. The cavity walls are recorded as uninsulated (assumed) and the glazing appears to be pre-2002, reflected in the EPC D rating — future insulation and window upgrades could reduce bills and improve comfort. The plot is small and there is no garage.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking an inexpensive, chain-free purchase with room to personalise, or an investor targeting a practical two-bed near local amenities and good schools. Viewing will quickly reveal the property’s everyday strengths and where sensible investment could increase long-term value.
