Well-presented three-bed starter close to Chaddesden Village and Pride Park.
Three bedrooms with bay-fronted main bedroom
A tidy three-bedroom semi-detached home that suits a first-time buyer seeking sensible value and easy access to local amenities. The property benefits from a bay-fronted main bedroom, an extended kitchen-diner for social living, and a modern ground-floor bathroom — all arranged across a compact footprint that is straightforward to maintain. The generous rear garden with lawn and raised decking provides useful outdoor space for children, pets or entertaining, while a block-paved driveway offers off-street parking for two cars.
Practical, ready-to-move-in elements include UPVC double glazing and gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. The interior shows several contemporary upgrades — high-gloss kitchen units with integrated appliances and a refitted bathroom — meaning you can avoid immediate major works. The house is freehold and within easy walking distance of Chaddesden Village amenities, local schools rated 'Good' or 'Outstanding', and a footbridge to Pride Park and Derby city centre.
Notable constraints are honest and important: the property is modest in overall size (approximately 745 sq ft) with one bathroom, and the original solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated which could mean higher heating costs unless improved. The double glazing was installed before 2002 and may not meet current thermal standards. The wider area records higher crime levels than average — worth checking local statistics and security needs before proceeding. Council tax is described as very cheap, and broadband speeds are fast, which supports home working and streaming.
Overall this is a practical, characterful starter home that combines recent cosmetic improvements with near-term potential to enhance energy performance. It will suit buyers prioritising location, low initial maintenance, and a manageable project rather than those needing large rooms or a fully modern thermal envelope.
