Affordable entry home with garden and driveway, ideal for hands‑on buyers.
Freehold three-bed semi-detached, approx. 876 sq ft
This three-bedroom semi-detached home in Allenton offers practical family living with straightforward potential. The ground floor provides two reception rooms and a large fitted kitchen opening onto a split-level rear garden with a summerhouse — useful for storage, home working or hobby space. Off-street parking on the driveway and gas central heating make the property comfortable from day one.
The house has genuine value for buyers prepared to update: double glazing was fitted after 2002, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is very low (Band A). The solid brick construction and straightforward 1930s layout give a clear base for modest renovation, improving insulation and modernising interiors to add value.
Be clear about notable negatives: the area scores high for crime and very deprived by local measures, the plot and garden are small, and the property has a dated appearance requiring cosmetic and likely thermal-upgrade work (solid walls assumed uninsulated). There is a single family bathroom only — important for larger households.
For young families or investors seeking an affordable entry in Derby, this freehold house is a practical purchase with immediate occupancy potential and scope for sensible improvement. Early viewing is recommended to assess condition and scope for refurbishment.
