Ideal starter home near Derby city centre and transport links.
Chain-free freehold Victorian mid-terrace
This double-fronted Victorian mid-terrace offers spacious living across two reception rooms and two double bedrooms, finished with a modern fitted kitchen and two bathrooms. The property is chain-free and freehold, making it straightforward for a first purchase or a buy-to-let acquisition. Its layout and footprint (circa 829 sq ft) suit couples or small families seeking proximity to Derby city centre and local amenities.
Practical strengths include gas central heating, double glazing, a low-maintenance paved rear garden and good digital connectivity (excellent mobile, fast broadband). The room proportions are generous for the age of the house, and the large first-floor bathroom plus a ground-floor shower room add everyday convenience.
Buyers should note material considerations: the terrace is solid-brick construction typical of 1900–1929 with no known wall insulation, so thermal upgrades would improve comfort and running costs. The immediate area is very deprived with a very high crime rate reported — this affects desirability and should be factored into occupation or rental plans. The rear plot is small and the interior has some dated elements (entrance decor) that may benefit from cosmetic updating.
Overall this is an affordable, well-located period property that suits first-time buyers wanting space and city access, or investors looking for a city-centre rental. Its chain-free status and ready-to-move-in kitchen reduce immediate work, while optional insulation and cosmetic improvement offer clear value-add opportunities.
