3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Haddon Road, Buxton SK17

Local area

Haddon Road puts everyday Buxton life comfortably within reach. The town centre is walkable, with its shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants close enough that heading out doesn't automatically mean reaching for the car, while Buxton railway station provides connections towards Manchester. For a young family, schools are particularly convenient, with Fairfield Infant and Nursery School and St Peter's Junior School both close by, alongside parks, sports facilities and the wider amenities of the town.

There's plenty beyond the practicalities too. Buxton offers the Pavilion Gardens, Opera House and the surrounding Peak District countryside, while the position on this side of town makes getting out towards the A6 straightforward. It's a location that worked for the previous owners for around 40 years, and one that gives a first-time buyer or young family the convenience of living close to town without needing to be right in its centre.

Agent's description

Some first homes are bought knowing you'll probably outgrow them. Here, at Haddon Road, there's considerably more room to grow. This three-bedroom semi-detached has been in the same ownership for around 40 years and, following a substantial ground-floor extension in 2020, offers an unusual amount of living space for a home of its type, alongside a larger garden, double driveway and no onward chain.

The lounge remains the main family room, with its bay window and gas fire, while the extended ground floor provides a separate sitting room and dining room, the latter opening through French doors onto the garden. There's also a utility and ground-floor shower room, while the adjoining kitchen and sitting room offer obvious potential to create a larger kitchen diner in future, subject to the appropriate checks and works.

Upstairs are three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. There's plenty of opportunity for the next owners to update the interiors to their own taste, while some of the bigger jobs have already been addressed, with the roof resettled, and the windows, external doors, and guttering recently replaced (2024).

Outside, the garden gives a young family plenty to work with. Beyond the low-maintenance main lawn are raised beds and a productive allotment area with greenhouse and shed, giving keen gardeners somewhere to grow their own without sacrificing the main family garden.

Coming to the open market for the first time in four decades, this home combines the affordability and potential of a first home with the living space and garden to stay considerably longer. It's ready to live in now, improve over time and gradually make your own
