Summary - 2 PARKIN STREET ALFRETON DE55 7JS
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable starter home with loft conversion potential and commuter links.
Walking distance to Alfreton town centre and local amenities
This two-bedroom semi-detached house on Parkin Street offers a traditional Victorian layout and a generous rear garden with mature fruit trees and raised patio areas — a rare outdoor asset so close to Alfreton town centre. The property is well placed for A38/M1 access and Alfreton train station, making commuting straightforward and daily errands convenient.
Internally the home provides an entrance hall, lounge/diner, kitchen, rear porch, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The loft is boarded and has full electric installed, offering genuine potential for conversion to a third bedroom subject to necessary planning and building regulations. At 721 sq ft the footprint is modest but suits couples, new families or first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home.
Important negatives are clear: the area scores as deprived with higher local crime levels, and the property is an older mid-20th century build with cavity walls likely uninsulated — further work may be needed to improve energy performance. The house is presented as a practical fixer-upper rather than walk-in-ready; some updating and possible maintenance will be required.
Overall this home is aimed at buyers seeking an affordable, freehold starter property with transport links and garden space, plus scope to add value through sensible refurbishment or loft conversion (with permissions). The very low council tax band helps running costs while improvements can raise comfort and long-term value.
