Step into a roomy two-bedroom apartment a short walk from Derby Train Station, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation. The layout includes a bright lounge, separate kitchen with integrated appliances, a master bedroom with en-suite and a good-sized second double — practical for first-time buyers seeking comfortable, city-centre living.
The building combines period character with modern upgrades: high ceilings and exposed brick features sit alongside secondary glazing, a Tado smart heating system, and gas central heating. Residents benefit from a lift and one allocated off-street parking space with secure remote-controlled access. Mobile signal is excellent, useful for remote working or commuting.
Be aware of a few material considerations. The property is leasehold, though ground rent is nominal, and the wider area records very high crime levels and very slow broadband speeds. The location has a medium flooding risk and sits within a very deprived area, which may affect future resale and insurance costs. Council tax is very low.
For a first-time buyer seeking a well-located, characterful apartment close to transport links, this offers immediate usability with energy-saving features. It also presents scope to improve broadband and security measures, and to personalise the interior to boost long-term value.
