Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Mackworth, this three-bedroom end-of-terrace offers a spacious lounge/diner, a sizeable private rear garden and straightforward mains gas heating. The property is freehold with double glazing and an open-plan ground floor that benefits from good natural light. Its layout and plot make it suitable for first-time buyers seeking room to grow or investors targeting rental demand.
The house dates from the 1950s–60s and shows clear potential but requires modernization throughout — kitchens, bathroom and general decoration are dated. The construction appears to be system-built with no confirmed wall insulation, so buyers should factor in energy-improvement costs. There is a single family bathroom and about 895 sq ft of living space, so storage and living provision are typical for the era.
Location strengths include nearby bus routes, local amenities and a mix of good nearby schools, while the cul-de-sac position and large garden add privacy and outdoor space. Material negatives to note: the neighbourhood has high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental values and running considerations. Prospective buyers should arrange surveys and consider budget for insulation and modernisation works.
