3 bed semi-detached house to rent

Derby Road, Beeston NG9

This semi-detached family home on Derby Road offers something that's increasingly hard to find: A genuinely versatile living space that can adapt to how a busy family actually lives. The standout feature here is the exceptional amount of ground-floor space, which includes a large living room, a separate dining room, and an additional study or snug area accessed via an annexe hallway. This layout provides families with the breathing room they need, whether that's separate spaces for working from home, a teenager's den, or simply a quieter area when the main living areas are in full use.

The kitchen is modern and practical, fitted with white units and featuring a double oven, washing machine, and views across the garden. There's also a ground-floor shower room, which is invaluable for busy mornings or when you've got muddy kids coming in from the garden. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms (two good-sized doubles and a smaller third room that works as a single bedroom or study) plus a spacious family bathroom with a bath. The front bedroom benefits from a bay window, while the rear bedroom looks out over the garden and the parkland beyond.

The garden itself is a real asset. It's large, well-established, with mature borders and leafy trees, and crucially, it backs directly onto Beeston Fields Recreational Ground with rear gate access. For families with active children or dog owners, this is gold dust. You've essentially got a vast green space on your doorstep. There's also a conservatory off the main living room, perfect for enjoying the garden views year-round. The utility room provides additional practical space and access to the garden decking.
