This mid-20th-century mid-terrace home on Gunthorpe Drive offers a practical three-bedroom layout across multiple levels, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a compact, affordable entry into Sherwood. The property benefits from off-street parking, a low‑maintenance rear garden and fast ultrafast broadband — useful for commuting or renting to professionals. The boiler and mains gas heating are in place and windows are double glazed, helping with running costs.
Internally the accommodation is straightforward: a carpeted living room with a feature fireplace, a fitted kitchen-diner with space for appliances, a ground-floor bathroom and two bedrooms on the first floor plus a loft/second-floor bedroom. Room sizes are modest and the overall footprint is small (c. 611 sq ft), so the house suits buyers who prioritise location and value over expansive internal space. Council Tax is Band A, keeping ongoing costs low.
There are several material points to note. The area records higher local crime rates and broader area deprivation indicators; purchasers should factor location into their decision. The house appears to retain original solid-brick walls with no known cavity insulation and has dated internal decor and textured ceilings — upgrading insulation, electrics or finishes may be needed to improve comfort and energy efficiency. The title contains restrictive covenants; buyers must make their own enquiries about any implications.
Taken as a pragmatic purchase, the house represents a budget-friendly option in a sought-after Sherwood location with excellent transport links into Nottingham. It will particularly suit buyers willing to modernise and personalise the space, or investors targeting steady rental demand from local professionals and young families. A full inspection will confirm service condition and any further works required.
