Step into a bright, characterful two-bedroom house in Smalley village — an attractive, chain-free option for first-time buyers. The ground floor’s open-plan lounge/diner with a log burner creates a welcoming social space that leads directly to a very large, low-maintenance garden. Off-street parking for two cars and a useful kitchen utility add everyday convenience.
The two bedrooms upstairs are generous for the size, and the bathroom includes both a freestanding bath and a separate shower. Practical details include mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and solid brick walls with internal insulation — all signs of a period property that has been modernised but retains traditional fabric.
Highlights for buyers: freehold tenure, no onward chain, fast broadband and very affordable council tax. Consider that some original elements (older double glazing, Victorian construction) may benefit from ongoing maintenance or future updating to suit personal taste. Overall this home balances character, space and sensible running costs, making it a strong move-in-ready starter property in a convenient village location.
