Chain-free, well-located terrace near hospital and university — ideal starter home with renovation potential.
- Two double bedrooms with original fireplaces
This mid-terrace Victorian house offers an affordable entry to Derby’s DE1 for a first-time buyer. The property has two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and an enclosed rear garden — practical space for day-to-day living and low maintenance outdoor use. Being chain-free and freehold makes a quicker purchase possible.
The layout is traditional and straightforward: lounge, dining room, kitchen, cellar, two first-floor bedrooms and bathroom. The home has period features such as original fireplaces and high ceilings but would benefit from updating to meet modern tastes and efficiency expectations. Walls are solid brick with no built-in insulation and double glazing dates from before 2002, so buyers should budget for potential thermal improvements.
Location is a strong selling point: a short distance to the Royal Derby Hospital, University of Derby and Derby city centre with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. That proximity also suits investors or professionals connected to the hospital or university. Note the local area profile: higher crime levels and wider-area deprivation mean buyers should weigh community considerations and security measures.
Overall this property suits a practical first-time buyer or small-scale investor who wants a well-located, characterful terrace with renovation potential. Viewing is essential to judge space and scope; prepare for modest improvement costs to raise comfort and energy performance.
