This two-bedroom detached house in Mansfield offers a practical, easy-to-run layout for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen and dining area plus a separate living room, both with direct access to the rear garden. Two double bedrooms upstairs include fitted wardrobes and there is a bathroom plus a separate WC and useful landing storage.
The property is freehold, built c.1976–82 and benefits from double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating and a driveway for off-street parking. The rear garden is mainly lawned with mature shrubs and a storage outbuilding — low-maintenance space that’s ready to use or improve. Broadband speeds are reported fast, which suits working-from-home needs.
Honest points to note: the kitchen fittings and some internal finishes are dated and will benefit from refurbishment to modernise the home. The local area faces significant economic challenges and recorded crime levels are very high; buyers should factor this into budgeting and security considerations. Council tax is very low, and the house’s size and practical layout present clear potential for investment or a straightforward first home.
Overall, this is a sensible, realistically priced opportunity to buy a detached home with parking and usable garden in a well-connected part of Mansfield. Buyers seeking contemporary finishes or a quieter neighbourhood may prefer to look elsewhere, but those wanting a manageable property with scope to upgrade will find clear value here.
