Affordable Victorian terrace near Derby city centre, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let.
Chain-free mid-terrace with two double bedrooms
A compact Victorian mid-terrace in DE22, offered chain-free and ready for a first-time buyer or investor to personalise. The house has two double bedrooms, a living room, dining room and a galley kitchen with direct access to a small, low-maintenance rear garden. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, modern double glazing and an average overall size of about 855 sq ft.
Location is a practical selling point: the city centre, Royal Derby Hospital and major roads (A38/A52) are all within easy reach, and local schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and council tax is very inexpensive, supporting long-term running costs or rental appeal.
Be realistic about the work and context: the house dates from c.1900–1929 and has solid brick walls with no confirmed cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could be needed. The neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan student area with high private renting and the reported crime level is very high; purchasers should factor in location risk and potential yield/occupier type when considering investment options.
This property suits buyers seeking an affordable entry into Derby or landlords aiming for a central, easily managed rental. It offers immediate possession with scope for straightforward improvement and value-add measures such as insulation, cosmetic upgrades or reconfiguration.
