A compact, two-double-bedroom semi-detached home positioned at the end of a cul-de-sac, suited to a first-time buyer seeking an affordable step onto the property ladder. The house offers practical living with a lounge, dining kitchen, one bathroom and off-street parking for two vehicles. Gas central heating and double glazing help keep running costs reasonable, and the property is offered chain-free for a quicker move.
The plot and overall size are small, so space-conscious buyers should view to assess suitability. The EPC is D and the single bathroom and basic finishes indicate limited modernisation may be needed to maximise comfort or rental value. The property was built in the 1980s with cavity walls and later double glazing, so major structural work is not indicated in the brochure, but older systems should be inspected as part of purchase.
Location is a practical selling point: the cul-de-sac setting reduces through-traffic and the house is within reach of local shops, bus routes and several schools (ranging from 'Requires Improvement' to 'Outstanding'). However, the surrounding area is described as very deprived with very high local crime rates; buyers should factor local safety and insurance implications into their decision. The listing mentions Freehold but legal title should be confirmed during conveyancing.
For a first-time buyer or small household seeking low council tax and affordable entry into Derby, this home represents clear value if you accept modest space and a neighbourhood with social challenges. It’s suited to buyers who prioritise price and convenience over generous indoor or outdoor living space, or investors wanting a straightforward let after any minor updates.
