But step inside and your eyes pop out at a home that has been refurbished into a modern, attractive family residence.
That’s The Hollies, a four-bedroom, detached property on Main Road in Heath, which is a village halfway between Mansfield and Chesterfield.
Such a seamless mix of contemporary and character features is why offers in the region of as much as £950,000 are being invited by estate agents, Blenheim Park Estates, of Sheffield.
At the heart of the interior is a bespoke Karl Benz breakfast kitchen that is finished to a high standard with AEG appliances
A light and airy sitting room is complemented by a generously-sized lounge and a fabulous dining room. As well as the entrance hallway, there is an inner hall, a utility room and a downstairs WC.
On the first floor, you will find all four double bedrooms, including the substantial master, which benefits from its own dressing area and en suite bathroom. There is also a Jack and Jill family shower room.
Outside, you will enjoy well-maintained gardens at the front and back, with a wide variety of shrubs and flowers, a central water feature, paths and space for seating. There is also a detached double garage, with store above, and ample space for off-street parking.

The second bedroom opens in to this Jack and Jill shower room, which is suitable for the whole family.

As with all the bedrooms, the third one comes complete with a range of fitted furniture, with shelves, drawers and cupboards. It overlooks the front of the £950,000 property. Photo: Zoopla
15. Final bedroom
The fourth and final bedroom might be the smallest, but is still a decent size and still attractive. Again, the amount of storage space is colossal. Photo: Zoopla
16. Moving outside
Let's step outside now for another look at the front of The Hollies. A timber gate opens on to a garden with gravelled paths running among a variety of mature shrubs and flowers, and a central water feature. Photo: Zoopla
