This Victorian three-bedroom semi offers a practical, chain-free entry into Darley Abbey living. The layout includes a lounge, dining room, fitted kitchen, ground-floor shower room and a first-floor bathroom — useful flexibility for families, sharers or renters. At about 894 sq ft the home feels compact but well-proportioned.
The property is double-glazed, centrally heated by mains-gas boiler and carries an EPC B rating, so running costs should be reasonable. A small, enclosed rear yard is landscaped for low maintenance and provides a private outdoor space. The location is a major selling point: close to Derby city centre, the university campus, good schools and local amenities, making it attractive to first-time buyers and investors alike.
Notable practical points are presented plainly: the house is solid-brick (likely with little cavity insulation as built), so buyers should consider whether additional wall insulation or energy upgrades are desired. The plot is small and the rear yard modest rather than a garden for large-scale outdoor use. Local crime levels are reported as above average — check local data if this is a priority. The property is freehold and chain-free, which simplifies transaction timing.
Overall this is a sensible option for someone seeking a well-located, low-maintenance period home or a rental purchase with reliable tenant demand close to the university and city centre. Any buyer planning long-term comfort or energy improvements should budget for insulation/modernisation works where needed.
