A larger-than-average two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offering clear scope for improvement and rental potential close to Derby city employers. The property is freehold, has an EPC rating of D and benefits from a good-size rear garden and double glazing installed after 2002.
Internally the house requires full refurbishment throughout: dated fixtures and finishes, likely damp risks in parts, and assumed solid brick walls without insulation. There is scope for a loft conversion subject to planning consent and cellar access beneath the stairs, which could increase usable space and rental value.
Location is convenient for commuters and workers at Pride Park, Rolls-Royce and Derby Railway Station, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Note the area is classified as very deprived with high local crime rates — a material consideration for owner-occupiers but one investors may offset with rent yields after refurbishment.
This property will be sold at auction with binding contracts on sale: a 5% deposit (minimum £5,000) and a buyers’ fee (4.8% of purchase price, minimum £6,000 inc. VAT) apply. Interested buyers should review the legal pack and factor auction costs into their budget.
