Auction opportunity for a renovation project near Derby schools and transport links.
Freehold three-bedroom semi detached with vacant possession
Requires comprehensive improvement and modernisation throughout
Potential to extend subject to usual planning consents
Mostly double glazed; mains gas heating but dated internal fittings
Solid brick walls likely without insulation — energy upgrades needed
Good-sized rear garden and driveway parking
EPC Rating D; Council Tax Band B
Sold at auction 27/11/2025 — 10% deposit and buyers' fee apply
This traditionally built three-bedroom semi-detached house in Alvaston offers clear renovation potential and is being sold at auction on 27 November 2025. Set back behind a low-maintenance foregarden with driveway, the freehold property has vacant possession and a good-sized enclosed rear garden — useful for extension or landscaping subject to usual planning consents.
Internally the home includes an entrance hallway with pantry, separate lounge and dining room, fitted kitchen, conservatory and a first-floor shower room. The property is mostly double glazed and served by mains gas heating; current internal finishes are dated (1970s wood paneling and period fixtures) and a comprehensive scheme of improvement is required. EPC rating D and Council Tax Band B are noted.
Practical buyers — investors or DIY owners — will value the clear layout, scope to extend (subject to consents) and the convenience of local schools, shops and road links to Derby city centre, Pride Park and the M1. Important negatives: the house needs refurbishment throughout, likely solid-brick walls without insulation, and buyers should allow for renovation costs plus the auction deposit and buyer’s fee detailed in the legal pack.
Sold by unconditional auction: successful bidders will exchange contracts at sale. A 10% deposit (minimum £5,000) and a buyers’ fee (1.2% of price, minimum £1,500 inc. VAT) apply; read the Legal Pack before bidding.
