Summary - 42 FIFE STREET DERBY DE24 8TN
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Period charm, generous garden, and affordable running costs — ideal for first-time buyers.
Two double bedrooms in a Victorian bay-fronted semi
A well-proportioned two-bedroom Victorian semi offering traditional features and a generous rear garden, presented with contemporary decoration throughout. The bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room with cellar access and two double bedrooms deliver a comfortable layout for first-time buyers or young couples. Freehold tenure and very low council tax band A keep running costs down.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and on-street parking. The mature rear garden with patio, lawn and brick storage shed provides private outdoor space rare for the price band, while the cellar adds useful storage or scope for conversion (subject to checks).
Buyers should note the house sits in an area with higher crime rates and wider area deprivation indicators; prospective purchasers may wish to visit at different times to assess suitability. The property is of solid-brick, early 20th-century construction with assumed uninsulated walls — insulating improvements and a confirmed EPC will be sensible next steps. On-street parking only and a small plot size limit external expansion possibilities.
Overall this semi-detached home represents an affordable entry into the area with period charm, garden space and commuter-friendly links. It suits first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in property with straightforward potential to improve energy efficiency and add value over time.
