This compact Victorian mid-terrace sits on Sun Street, a short walk from Derby city centre, offering an affordable entry into city living at £145,000. The layout includes two spacious double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a practical kitchen, arranged across 647 sq ft of living space. Gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown) provide everyday comfort.
The rear garden is deliberately low-maintenance, mainly paved with planted borders and two brick storage cupboards — useful for bikes and garden kit. The small plot and simple garden make upkeep easy, and there is potential to personalise the outside space or add a garden studio subject to permissions.
Important considerations: the home is in a very high-crime, very deprived area, which may affect long-term desirability and lettings. The property is a solid-brick Victorian build (pre-1900) with assumed no cavity insulation; upgrading insulation and aesthetic refurbishment would improve comfort and value. Council tax is very cheap and broadband and mobile signals are strong, which supports working-from-home or rental demand.
Ideal for first-time buyers seeking an affordable, city-edge home or investors targeting nearby rental demand, this freehold terrace offers good bones and clear scope for improvement. Viewings are recommended for buyers who value proximity to amenities and are comfortable with a renovation or cosmetic update programme.
