Bright open-plan apartment with allocated parking and ensuite.
First-floor two-bedroom apartment, 797 sqft
This first-floor, two-double-bedroom apartment offers practical city living a short walk from Derby city centre. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen with a Juliette balcony creates a bright, low-maintenance space; the master bedroom includes a convenient ensuite. Allocated off-street parking and double glazing add everyday convenience, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit working-from-home needs.
The building dates from the late 1990s and the home is heated by electric storage heaters — economical to maintain but likely more costly to run than gas alternatives. The property is leasehold (105 years remaining) with an average service charge around £1,700 and ground rent about £272 per year; factor these into running costs. Crime levels in the immediate area are high and the wider neighbourhood shows signs of deprivation, which may affect long-term resale or rental yields.
This apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a manageable, well-located starter home or investors wanting a lettable city-centre flat near hospitals and transport links. The accommodation is ready to occupy with minimal immediate work, but buyers seeking long-term savings on energy and heating may want to consider upgrading heating systems in future.
