Summary - 37 KEATS AVENUE LITTLEOVER DERBY DE23 4EE
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Rare Littleover plot with planning passed for a six-bed detached conversion — scope for strong uplift.
Plot just over one third of an acre, south-facing rear backing golf course
A rare development opportunity in Littleover: a 1930s detached house on just over one third of an acre with planning permission (ref 23/01277/FUL) to convert to a substantial two-storey, six-bedroom residence. The plot is generous, south-facing to the rear and backs onto Mickleover golf course, giving potential for impressive gardens to match the planned internal accommodation. Existing features include a long driveway, double garage and versatile room layout that can be adapted while works progress.
The property is set at the end of a no-through road in a highly desirable residential area, convenient for Royal Derby Hospital, strong local schools and commuter links (A50/A38). Current accommodation is traditional and functional but dated: lounge, dining room, breakfast kitchen, utility, wet room, plus four bedrooms and separate WC on the first floor. The house needs renovation and updating to realise the full potential of the approved scheme or an alternative refurbishment plan.
Practical considerations are important: the house appears neglected and will require substantial works to reach the approved specification or to be modernised; walls are cavity with no added insulation (assumed), glazing dates unknown. There is an overage clause of 25% on the plot which runs until February 2048. Council Tax is Band G (quite expensive). For a buyer seeking a project with planning in place, this offers immediate upside; for an owner-occupier, the site affords long-term space and extension potential but carries renovation responsibilities and additional costs.
This property suits a developer or investor wanting a near-immediate start under existing consent, or a large-family buyer prepared to refurbish to their own specification. The combination of size, location and approved plans is rare locally, but factor in renovation budget, the overage clause and ongoing running costs when assessing value.
