Nottingham Road, Chaddesden
Offers In Excess Of £98,500 – Two Bedroom Terraced Home
Traditional terrace homes have long since been seen as the first rung on the property ladder and for a long way under the £205,000 budget, you could choose this really rather spacious two double bedroom terrace property in the popular area of Chaddesden. With double glazing, combination boiler and reasonable garden space, it could prove to be the ideal home.
