This chain-free, two-bedroom semi-detached home offers a straightforward move-in option for first-time buyers or investors seeking rental potential. The property has been newly renovated with a modern fitted kitchen, new carpets and flooring throughout, and double glazing. Practical benefits include driveway parking, a decent rear garden and mains gas central heating. Council Tax Band A and freehold tenure keep running costs low, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern working-from-home needs.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with a bay-fronted lounge, a kitchen with space for a small breakfast table and doors out to the garden, plus two bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom. The layout feels average-sized across approximately 635 sq ft, making this a manageable home for a couple or small family. Local amenities and shops are within walking distance, and transport links give easy access to Derby city centre, the M1 and East Midlands Airport.
Buyers should note material factors plainly: the area is classed as very deprived with a high local crime rate, which will affect desirability and resale prospects for some purchasers. The EPC is D, so while heating is mains gas with a combination boiler, energy efficiency is not high-end. There are also mixed school performance ratings nearby, ranging from Outstanding to Requires Improvement.
Overall this is a well-presented, low-cost-entry property with modern finishes and genuine scope for rental income or future value growth if the buyer is comfortable with the wider area profile. Early viewing advised for those prioritising move-in readiness, off-street parking and a substantial rear garden within walking distance of local services.
