# 3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale (SK17 9UN) ## Property Details | Key | Value | |-----|-------| | Address | Curlew Avenue, Buxton, SK17, SK17 9UN | | Price | £250,000 | | Bedrooms | 3 | | Bathrooms | 2 | | Council tax | C | | Last sold | £190,995 | ## Description VENDOR COMMENT: We loved having a home that felt like a blank slate from the start, but in a position that stood out from the rest. The garden gets the sun all day, it’s quiet being tucked away in the corner, and it’s the kind of place where people still say hello as you pass. It’s been an easy home to settle into. AGENT DESCRIPTION: Set on one of the strongest plots along Curlew Avenue, this semi-detached home sits in a corner position, tucked away from the main flow of the estate. It’s noticeably quieter here, with very little passing traffic, and a level of privacy that’s hard to find on similar developments. The position also changes how the outside space works. The driveway runs to the side rather than directly in front of the lounge, so the outlook remains open, with a front lawn still in place rather than parked cars dominating the view. The garden and driveway both catch the sun throughout the day, making the outside space feel usable from morning through to evening. Inside, the finish is clean, modern and still feels as new as the day it was first lived in. It’s the kind of home that’s ready to step straight into, with over five years remaining on the NHBC warranty giving a level of reassurance that lets you focus on settling in rather than thinking about what might need doing. The lounge sits to the front, where the position of the plot really makes itself known. With no parked cars directly outside and a front lawn still in place, it’s a noticeably more open outlook than most, with natural light coming through the patio doors and making it an easy space to spend time, whether that’s a quiet evening or a busier family routine. To the rear, the kitchen and dining space opens out onto the garden, and this is where the home begins to grow with you. It’s easy to picture everyday life here — doors open in the warmer months, children moving between inside and out, and the space naturally becoming the centre of how the home is used over time. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with its own en suite and wall panelling that adds a more refined finish. A main bathroom serves the additional bedrooms, alongside the ground floor WC. The remaining bedrooms are well sized and flexible, whether that’s a child’s bedroom, space for guests, or somewhere to work from home as life changes - though there's ample space for a home-office setup in the lounge for those needing a true three-bedroom home. Outside, the rear garden has already been perfectly finished, with a relaid stone patio completed in 2025. It’s a space that’s ready to use straight away, rather than something left to figure out after moving in. Alongside this, the side garden offers further potential for expanding the private space, with scope to enclose and bring it fully into the main garden if wanted over time. Life here has a steady feel to it. The corner position keeps things quiet, with very little passing traffic, and there’s a genuine sense of community around you. Neighbours are friendly, people look out for one another, and it’s the sort of place where small things like a quick chat or a wave as you pass still happen without thinking about it. For those starting out, this is a home that doesn’t feel like a stepping stone. It’s somewhere you can settle into properly, grow into over time, and shape around your own routines, with the space and setting already doing a lot of the work for you. ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148380) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148381) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148382) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148383) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148384) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148386) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148387) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148388) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148389) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148390) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148392) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148393) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148394) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148395) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148396) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148397) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148398) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148400) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148401) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148402) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148403) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148406) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148407) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148411) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148413) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148416) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148420) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148424) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148429) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148432) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148440) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148447) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148453) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/174498488/148460) ## Floorplans - ![Floorplan 1](/listings/photos/174498488/148467) - Floorplan 1 ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC 1](/listings/photos/174498488/148472) - EPC 1 ## Sold Comparables *Same street and nearby sales within 0.25 miles.
