Set on a generous plot in sought-after Woodthorpe, this 1930s detached home offers approx. 1,182 sq ft, a garage and private driveway. The existing layout provides an open-plan living and dining room with garden access, a kitchen with utility, three bedrooms and a family bathroom — a solid family footprint ready for modernisation.
The property is vacant freehold and will be sold at auction with an eight-week exchange, making it suitable for buyers prepared to move quickly. The house requires refurbishment throughout (1970s-era fittings in places) and the solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation, so buyers should budget for upgrading heating, insulation and interior finishes.
There is clear scope to add value: the plot and roofline offer potential for extension subject to planning permission (STPP). Practical advantages include off-street parking, an attached garage, mature front and rear gardens, very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for families or those working from home.
Nearby amenities include local shops and frequent bus links into Nottingham, and several well-regarded primary schools close by. This home will suit a family or investor seeking a period property with character, strong long-term potential and the chance to create a contemporary, energy-efficient home.
