An elegant late-Georgian end-of-terrace townhouse set directly on the Markeaton Brook, offering a calm, private outlook in the heart of Derby. Period proportions — high ceilings, sash windows and original parquet — sit alongside contemporary comforts: a fitted open-plan kitchen, modern boiler, and a timber outbuilding with power that could serve as a home office.
Accommodation spans three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a well-appointed bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a dedicated dressing room that could be converted to an en-suite if required. Bi-folding doors connect the kitchen to a paved courtyard while a stepped path leads to a tranquil brookside lawn and patio — rare waterside outdoor space for a central city home.
Practical strengths include off-street parking for one vehicle, freehold tenure and favourable council tax Band C. Broadband and mobile coverage are reported strong. A virtual 360 tour is available to preview the layout before an in-person visit.
Buyers should note material and location considerations: the EPC is not available and the house dates from c.1800, so specific surveys are advised. The property sits within a cosmopolitan, student-dominated neighbourhood with higher-than-average local crime statistics and wider area deprivation indicators — factors that may affect some buyers’ priorities. Plot size is modest; external maintenance and period-property upkeep will be ongoing responsibilities.
