A practical two-bedroom ground-floor apartment with private front and rear gardens, located within easy walking distance of Belper town centre and its rail station. The accommodation is traditionally laid out and benefits from UPVC double glazing and gas central heating, offering immediate warmth and low running costs. Council tax is very cheap, broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — practical for everyday life or remote working.
The apartment includes two double bedrooms, a lounge, fitted kitchen and a three-piece bathroom. Outside there is a lawned rear garden with a paved seating area and two brick-built outhouses providing useful storage. The plot and layout offer scope for light modernisation to refresh interiors and increase appeal.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with approximately 94 years remaining, which may affect mortgage options and future value. The building dates from the mid-20th century and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should expect potential improvement costs for insulation and general modernisation. The area is classified as ‘renting hard‑pressed workers’ and ‘ageing urban communities’ with average crime and deprivation levels — this is reflected in local market dynamics.
Overall this is a well-located, affordable ground-floor apartment suited to first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking a tidy home with garden space and potential to add value through modest improvements.
