This two-bedroom terrace in Donisthorpe offers a manageable first home with generous outdoor space and direct access to National Forest trails. The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, downstairs bathroom and a first-floor wet room, plus a small additional room suitable as an office or dressing area. The large west-facing garden with outbuildings is a key selling point for outdoor living and storage.
Practicalities are straightforward: freehold tenure, very low council tax (Band A), no flood risk and excellent mobile signal. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators; EPC rating D and double glazing are noted. Broadband speeds are average. Records indicate construction in 1976–1982, although the property presents with traditional red-brick terrace styling.
The location is strong for walkers, cyclists and families — the Donisthorpe Woodland Park trail is immediately opposite, linking to Moira Furnace, Conkers and Hicks Lodge. Commuters benefit from easy access to the M42. Local primary schools are rated Good by Ofsted, and the village has basic amenities including buses and a pub.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the oil heating system and EPC D suggest running costs and possible efficiency improvements; some updating may be required internally. The property is average-sized (about 870 sq ft) and suited to buyers seeking a compact, characterful home rather than a large family house.
