Description
Dating from 1921, this detached three-bedroom home has a double bay-fronted exterior and retains period details including tall ceilings, an original staircase and sections of original flooring. The ground floor includes a kitchen-diner, a separate living room and a pantry, with a rear porch leading to a further storage room. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The house sits on a generous plot with space at the front, along both sides and across the rear garden. The existing accommodation can be used as it stands, while the plot may offer scope to extend or reconfigure, subject to planning permission and other necessary consents. Newthorpe has local amenities, with Eastwood nearby for a wider range of shops and services. The A610 and M1 provide road connections towards Nottingham and Derby, and local bus services link to surrounding towns and the city.

39out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
Lowlands has plenty of period character, including its double bay frontage, stained glass, tall ceilings and original staircase, alongside a usable kitchen-diner and living spaces. The generous plot and established garden offer room to improve the outdoor setting, while the older bathroom and some individual finishes leave scope for a light refresh. The house appears broadly ready to enjoy while changes are made over time.
The main constraint is value: at £325,000, the asking price is around 19% above the local £/sqf average. Once a mid-to-substantial improvement programme is considered, the purchase and works position is stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area; that is a comparison with current local averages, not a forecast of renovated value.
Key opportunities
- Retain and showcase period features such as the double bay frontage, stained glass, tall ceilings and original staircase.
- Refresh the older bathroom and selected finishes while keeping the usable kitchen and living spaces in service.
- Tidy the established garden and explore the plot’s potential for future extension or reconfiguration, subject to permissions and consents.
Key risks
- The asking price sits above the local £/sqf benchmark, and allowing for the improvement programme leaves the overall position stretched against local averages for a home of this size.
- Budget carefully — economics look thin with the asking price plus a meaningful modernisation spend, about 17% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size. Finished value after works is not modelled here.
