Compact, renovatable two-bed home ideal for first-time buyers or investors.

Freehold with no upward chain, straightforward purchase
Manageable rear garden and foregarden, small plot
Approx 927 sq ft — deceptively spacious for price

Solid brick walls; likely no cavity insulation (energy upgrades needed)

Basic kitchen and bathroom — suitable for refurbishment
This two-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into Normanton with clear investment potential. The house has two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a manageable rear garden — a straightforward layout that suits first-time buyers or landlords seeking a rental-ready footprint. Freehold ownership and no upward chain simplify purchase logistics.
The property dates from the 1930–1949 period and retains period character in a compact, traditional form. The house measures about 927 sq ft and includes mains gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown). Council Tax is low (Band A), helping keep running costs down.
Buyers should note significant local and property considerations. The area shows very high deprivation and higher-than-average crime; buyers valuing community and safety should research local neighbourhood trends. The building is solid-brick with assumed no wall insulation, so energy efficiency improvements are likely needed to reduce bills and improve comfort. Some internal updating is expected — kitchen and bathroom are basic and the home appears suited to refurbishment rather than move-in perfection.
Overall, this is a pragmatic, value-led opportunity for a first-time buyer wanting a manageable home to personalise, or an investor targeting lettable stock in central Derby. The combination of low purchase price, freehold tenure and simple layout makes it a clear project with upside for refurbishment and longer-term improvement.
