Step into a deceptively spacious two-bedroom terraced home offered chain-free on Derby Road. The property benefits from a thoughtful rear extension that enlarges the kitchen and creates practical, connected living space across approximately 793 sq ft. With two reception rooms, a downstairs bathroom and an adaptable loft room with a skylight, the layout suits first-time buyers, small families or investors seeking immediate rental potential.
The living room and dining area flow well for everyday life and entertaining, while the extended kitchen provides good workspace and access to a low-maintenance private rear yard. The yard is enclosed and private with a gate to the field beyond — useful for dog walkers or families who want quick access to green space without a large garden to maintain. The home is double-glazed and heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators.
Practical positives include vacant possession (no chain), modest running costs (very low council tax) and good local amenities: shops, schools with mostly good Ofsted ratings, regular bus routes and easy road links to nearby towns. The property sits in an established residential area with nearby leisure amenities, playgrounds and walking routes.
Known considerations are presented openly: the EPC is rated D, so energy efficiency improvements could reduce bills and add value. The plot is small and outdoor space is low-maintenance rather than extensive. The area’s socio-economic mix is mixed, and overall deprivation and crime levels are average, so buyers wanting a quieter or more affluent locale may wish to compare local streets. Internally the house is well-presented but offers scope for cosmetic modernisation to reflect personal taste.
