Set on popular Etwall Street within easy walking distance of Derby city centre and the university, this red-brick Victorian terrace offers straightforward, flexible living over two floors. The property recently operated as a student let and suits first-time buyers or investors looking for an income-producing home with minimal purchase complexity — it is freehold and chain-free.
The layout includes a ground-floor reception (previously used as a third double bedroom), a fitted kitchen opening to a dining/lounge, and a useful cellar for storage or potential conversion. Two double bedrooms upstairs both have ensuite shower rooms, alongside a separate family bathroom — a layout that supports shared living or letting to multiple occupants.
Practical benefits include a private rear garden, on-street parking, and the option to buy furnished. The property is of standard brick construction with typical Victorian character but a dated interior, so some cosmetic updating is likely to be needed to bring it to contemporary standards. EPC rating: D.
Buyers should note material negatives candidly: the local area is classified as deprived with higher-than-average crime levels, and the plot/garden is small. These factors affect long-term capital-growth potential and some buyers’ lifestyles, although they are balanced by strong rental demand from students and professionals nearby and low council tax costs.
