Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Spondon combines period details with a practical layout and a private rear garden. The ground floor has an entrance hall with storage and stairs to the first floor, plus a front lounge with a bay window, picture rail and fireplace with a log burner. At the rear, the kitchen and dining area has fitted wall and base units, work surfaces, an inset sink and space for a table. It opens into a conservatory currently used as a utility room, with laundry plumbing and doors to the garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a third smaller bedroom and a family bathroom with a bath, basin and WC. Outside, a driveway provides parking for two cars, and the larger-than-average rear garden includes lawn and established planting. The listing notes potential to extend, subject to the necessary permissions and verification of feasibility. South Avenue Park and its play area are nearby. Spondon village, with local shops, cafés and pubs, is within reach, and the property is described as being in the West Park Secondary School catchment. A bus route provides access to Derby.

55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a clean, usable three-bedroom semi with character features, a two-car driveway and a notably private, established rear garden. The work looks light: some finishes are more traditional or personal, leaving room for a cosmetic refresh rather than a major overhaul. The listing also mentions scope to extend, subject to permissions and feasibility.

At £270,000, the asking price is about 8% above the local £/sqf average, so price is not a standout advantage. With the £5,000–£15,000 refurb range, purchase plus refurbishment costs also look tight against local benchmarks; a project buyer would need to weigh the home’s character, garden and potential improvements carefully. The conservatory/utility and garden structures are worth inspecting more closely.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh personal or traditional décor and finishes to give the clean, usable interiors a more contemporary feel.
  • Make the most of the private, larger-than-average garden, with established planting, lawn and space for relaxing or entertaining.
  • Explore the stated extension potential, subject to planning permission and a feasibility check.
