A compact one-bedroom quarter house in the village of Hatton, suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-cost entry into the local market. The layout is simple: lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom across two storeys, with off-street parking and access to a communal garden. The home sits in a very affluent, comfortable suburban area with good road links (A50, A38, A511), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The property is freehold and economical to run in council tax terms (Band A). Room sizes are modest (approx. 485 sqft overall) so it’s best for a single person, couple or as a rental investment. Fit and finish are basic and functional: neutral carpets, simple kitchen units and a three-piece bathroom with an electric shower.
Notable practical points: heating is by electric room heaters and the property shows double glazing with unknown installation date. The build date is typical of 1980s/1990s timber-framed homes. Prospective buyers should commission their own checks on services, heating efficiency and any necessary upgrades (EPC indicated as D). There is limited outdoor space and a small plot, but off-street parking is provided.
This home is attractive for buyers wanting low council tax, simple maintenance, and good connectivity to local schools, shops and transport. For investors it offers straightforward rental appeal in a village location; for first-time buyers it provides a manageable, affordable step onto the property ladder, provided you budget for possible electrical/heating upgrades and cosmetic improvement.
