This mid-20th-century semi sits in a quiet cul-de-sac a short walk from Ripley town centre, offering unexpectedly generous outdoor space for the price. The ground-floor extension provides flexible living — currently used as a bedroom/home office — and a shower room on the ground floor gives practical step-free convenience.
Inside are two reception rooms, a compact kitchen and two first-floor bedrooms; the layout and room sizes suit a young family, first-time buyer or someone seeking modest renovation potential. The large, well-presented rear garden and detached garage add real lifestyle value and private outdoor space in a built-up area.
The property is double-glazed and gas‑central heated via boiler and radiators, but the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation and the glazing install date is unknown. While overall condition is fair, buyers should expect some updating and budget for energy-efficiency improvements. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs.
Note the location’s practical advantages and constraints: excellent mobile and broadband speeds, good nearby schools and transport links, but the local area records very high crime levels. Viewings are recommended to judge the size and scope — particularly the garden and the ground-floor extension — and to plan any refurbishment.
