This impressive Grade II–listed Georgian townhouse, built circa 1790, occupies a desirable position in Derby’s Friar Gate conservation area. Finished in a sympathetic recent renovation, the house balances original period detail—high ceilings, multi‑paned arched windows and fireplaces—with practical modern comforts such as fitted kitchens, gas central heating and fast broadband. The layout spans three storeys with a generous entrance hall, formal reception rooms and three double bedrooms, two with en‑suite facilities.
Outdoor space and parking are rare strengths: a private decked sun terrace overlooks the communal courtyard and a double garage sits behind secure electric gates, accessed via rear service lanes. Long leasehold ownership (share of freehold with approximately 975 years remaining) and a low communal charge cover maintenance of the shared yard and gate, offering convenience and longer‑term security.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed property within a conservation area—alterations will be restricted and may require listed‑building consent. The solid brick construction is typical of the period and is likely to have limited cavity insulation, which can affect energy performance. The local area is lively and cosmopolitan but records higher crime and deprivation indices compared with suburban neighbourhoods, so some buyers may prefer a quieter location.
Ideal for buyers seeking character and central convenience—families or professionals wanting strong transport links, nearby amenities and easy access to the city centre. Investors will also find potential given nearby student and city demand, but should account for listing constraints and communal management arrangements when assessing costs.
