5 Portland Road, Long Eaton, Nottingham

If you're searching for a property where you can make a real impact, this three-bedroom semi-detached home sits on a generous plot and offers the kind of opportunity that investors, developers and hands-on buyers look for.

Set back from the road, the property has a paved driveway, providing off-road parking, alongside a mature front garden.

Step inside through a recently fitted timber front door into the hallway. From here, you'll see access through to the main living spaces. The living and dining room runs from front to back, giving you a dual-aspect layout with a window to the front and patio doors opening out to the rear. 

The kitchen sits to the rear, with a window overlooking the garden and a side door providing direct outdoor access. It currently offers space for a gas cooker, washing machine, and base units, but is ready for a full redesign to suit modern living.

Also on the ground floor is the family bathroom with a side window for natural light. Like the rest of the property, it will benefit from complete updating.

Upstairs, the landing includes an airing cupboard and loft access. Bedroom one is a generous double with dual-aspect windows and a built-in wardrobe. Bedroom two is another double overlooking the front, again with built-in storage. Bedroom three is a single room to the rear.

Outside, the rear garden has a raised block-paved patio area leading onto a lawn, bordered by mature hedging and fencing. At the far end, a brick-built shed offers useful storage space.

The location is another key part of the appeal. Sawley is popular with both homeowners and tenants thanks to its access to Long Eaton, transport links including nearby train stations, and proximity to local amenities, schools and green spaces. Sawley has consistent demand for three-bedroom homes, making this a strong option for resale or rental once refurbished.

In summary, this is a straightforward, no-chain project with clear potential. If you're looking for your next renovation in a proven location, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.
