A rare, very large duplex apartment in the heart of Derby’s Cathedral Quarter, offering 1,517 sq ft of adaptable living across upper floors of a Victorian building. Light-filled open-plan living, a generous fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms (one with en‑suite) suit professional couples, first‑time buyers seeking space, or buyers wanting city-centre convenience.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure with 963 years remaining, a private gated entrance and a pleasant shared courtyard. The home benefits from modern fittings, a replaced combination boiler (2018, with guarantee), double glazing and fast broadband/mobile reception — useful for remote working and streaming.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: the area records very high crime and very high deprivation, and the property sits in a medium flood‑risk zone. The building is Victorian solid brick with no known cavity insulation, so energy efficiency may be lower than modern builds. There is no immediate private parking on-site; off‑street season permits are available nearby at a multi‑storey car park.
Internally the layout is practical: open-plan living and dining, separate fitted kitchen, guest cloakroom, home office landing and two large dormer bedrooms. The property shares buildings insurance with commercial neighbours; buyers should check policy details and ongoing costs. Overall this is a distinctive, spacious city apartment that rewards buyers seeking character, size and central convenience, provided they accept location-related safety and energy considerations.
