A charming one-double-bedroom end-terraced cottage positioned in the Darley Abbey Village conservation area, offered chain-free and with genuine scope for improvement. The home retains period features — exposed beams, a recessed fireplace and traditional windows — that will appeal to buyers who want character plus the opportunity to modernise to their taste.
The layout is deceptively practical: sitting room with open-plan staircase, dining area opening to a paved private courtyard, kitchen and ground-floor bathroom, plus a first-floor double bedroom with built-in storage and loft access. The property is freehold, has gas central heating via a Worcester combination boiler and benefits from fast broadband and easy access to Darley Park, the River Derwent and village amenities.
This cottage does require renovation and modernisation throughout, which is reflected in the asking price and presents an opportunity to add value. The plot is very small and ceilings are low to medium height, so buyers should expect limited outdoor and vertical space. Off-road parking is available but limited and shared among residents of Hill Square.
Practical considerations: the property sits in a conservation area and has a medium flood risk — sensible buyers should obtain flood and insurance advice. With its location and compact layout, the house suits a first-time buyer or downsizer and has clear short-let potential for holiday or Airbnb use once upgraded.
