A compact Victorian mid-terraced freehold in Ripley, offered with immediate vacant possession and suited to buy-to-let or a modest refurbishment project. The property has two bedrooms, a fitted dining kitchen, and a good-sized enclosed rear garden with an attached outbuilding — practical rental stock close to town amenities and main roads.
The house benefits from gas central heating, UPVC double glazing (installed before 2002) and convenient access to the A38 for Derby and the M1. Room sizes are modest and the overall footprint is small (approximately 593 sq ft), which keeps running costs down and suits single tenants, couples or first-time investors looking for a straightforward let.
Notable considerations: the property sits in a high-crime area and was built before 1900 with solid brick walls (no built-in insulation assumed). The EPC is D and some internal updating or insulation improvements would raise energy efficiency and tenant appeal. The living room and some finishes show signs of wear and may need cosmetic or structural attention depending on intended use.
This sale will be conducted by auction on 29 October 2025. Buyers must prepare for auction conditions: a 10% deposit (minimum £5,000) and a buyers’ fee (1.2% of purchase price, minimum £1,500 inc. VAT). Interested parties should review the legal pack before bidding and factor renovation and security considerations into their offer plans.
