This compact two-bedroom semi offers clear rental potential and low running costs for an investor or first-time buyer. The property benefits from off-street parking, gas central heating, and an enclosed rear garden — practical features that suit tenants or a small household. Front-aspect rooftop views include Riber Castle and surrounding countryside, giving a pleasant outlook from the lounge and bedrooms.
Internally the layout is straightforward: fitted dining kitchen, sitting room, two first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom. The home is double-glazed with a wall-mounted gas boiler and radiators; fixtures and appliances have not been tested and buyers should verify working condition. With around 603 sq ft and a small plot, the property suits those seeking a manageable, lower-maintenance purchase rather than large-family accommodation.
Buyers should note material local factors: the area records higher crime and very deprived indicators, which can affect resale and rental demand. The glazing was installed before 2002 and some cosmetic updating may be wanted. Practical positives — driveway for two cars, lawned front and rear gardens, fast broadband and A6 access — support either a buy-to-let strategy or a staged owner-occupation renovation plan.
Nearby schools include a mix of Ofsted-rated good and one requiring improvement; local amenities cover shops, playgrounds and leisure facilities. Interested buyers should carry out their own checks on measurements, services and legal title, and budget for any updates or tenant-fit works.
