Affordable city-edge buy with strong rental potential and renovation upside.
- Three-bedroom Victorian terrace with rear garden
- Sold at SDL Auction 27 Nov 2025, chain-free
- Clear HMO/loft conversion potential (permissions required)

A compact Victorian terrace offering three generous bedrooms and clear rental potential, sold chain-free at auction. The house benefits from a rear garden, part uPVC double glazing and easy access to the A38/A52/M1 and local bus routes, making it suitable for investors or buyers seeking affordable city-edge living.
The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, ground-floor bathroom, and useful built-in storage. One larger first-floor bedroom extends over an alley and could be split to create extra lettable rooms or a loft conversion (subject to permissions). Council Tax Band A and a small overall footprint make running costs low.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is sold at SDL Auction on 27 November 2025 with binding contracts on sale, a minimum 5% deposit, and a buyers’ fee (4.8% subject to minimum). The home requires modernisation throughout, has dated internal decor, a medium flood risk and the area records higher-than-average crime levels — factors important for both owner-occupiers and landlords. EPC rating is TBC; prospective buyers should review the legal pack before bidding.
This is a pragmatic purchase for those wanting an affordable entry into Derby’s rental market or a renovation project close to transport links and local amenities. The house’s configuration, freehold tenure and no onward chain create clear potential once modernisation and any necessary permissions are addressed.
