Summary - 18 DORKING ROAD DERBY DE22 4BU
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable home with large rear garden and renovation potential.
Three bedrooms in compact, practical layout
This three-bedroom semi-detached home offers an affordable entry point into Derby with a surprisingly generous rear garden and straightforward layout. The living spaces are compact but practical, comprising an open-plan lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and three first-floor bedrooms — a good fit for first-time buyers or landlords seeking rental income.
The house benefits from mains gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and brick outbuildings to the rear. The EPC shows room for improvement (current band E, potential C), so modest upgrades could raise comfort and value. Council tax is very low, and the location provides easy access to local schools, bus routes and green space.
Buyers should note this is a non-standard construction property; some lenders may apply stricter criteria or larger deposits. The local area records higher crime and elevated deprivation levels, which may influence suitability and resale expectations. The exterior and interiors are dated and will benefit from cosmetic modernisation.
Overall this property suits a cost-conscious buyer prepared to invest in improvements or an investor seeking a simple rental asset. Check mortgage options for non-standard construction and consider basic refurbishments to unlock better energy efficiency and rental or sale value.
