This mid-terraced Victorian home on Devonshire Street offers three well-proportioned bedrooms across two storeys and flexible living in two reception rooms. Chain-free and freehold, the property is suited to first-time buyers or investors looking for a manageable project close to Mansfield with good transport links to the A617 and M1.
The house retains period character externally but needs cosmetic updating throughout. The kitchen and some internal finishes show wear and there are signs of damp in places; the cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed) and double glazing was installed before 2002. These factors give scope for improvement and energy-efficiency upgrades that would add value.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus very low council tax. The small rear garden and compact plot suit buyers wanting low-maintenance outdoor space. Nearby primary schools are rated Good by Ofsted and local amenities and leisure attractions are within reach.
Buyers should consider the wider context: the area is classified as deprived with high local crime levels. This is reflected in pricing and presents both a potential opportunity for investors and a risk to owner-occupiers. Overall, the house is a straightforward renovation opportunity for someone prepared to address damp, update the kitchen and improve insulation.
