• Long lease (circa 140 years remaining); chain-free sale

This beautifully renovated two-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits in a restored Georgian building in the heart of Derby city centre. The open-plan living kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms and contemporary bathroom offer comfortable modern living while retaining period character. Residents benefit from an allocated gated parking space and access to a communal garden — rare for a central location.
The apartment was sympathetically refurbished in 2016/2017 and has gas-fired central heating throughout. It is offered chain-free and the current owners report no ground rent, with a share of the freehold option available. The long lease (circa 140 years remaining) and central location close to shops, transport and local schools make this a sensible choice for first-time buyers or investors seeking a city-centre home with strong rental appeal.
Buyers should note material factors: the building is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and may complicate consent for works. Windows are single glazed and the property sits in an area recorded as very deprived with very high local crime levels. The service charge is approximately £2,400 per year (£200 per month); prospective buyers should factor this and potential conservation-related maintenance into ongoing costs.
Overall, this property offers a rare combination of Georgian character, modernised interiors and secure parking in a prime city-centre spot. It will suit buyers who value central convenience and period charm but who are prepared for listed-building constraints and the higher-running costs associated with communal maintenance and the neighbourhood profile.
