Step into a spacious Victorian semi-detached home on Derby Road, offered chain-free and ready for a new owner to personalise. At about 1,357 sq ft this three-bedroom house keeps many original features — bay windows, high ceilings, fireplaces and Minton tiles — and delivers generous room sizes across two floors, suited to a growing family or a first-time buyer seeking character and space.
The layout includes a bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, ground-floor cloakroom and a larger-than-average first-floor shower room. Outside there is off-street parking for one car to the front, a private rear garden with two distinct areas (with greenhouse, sheds and pond) and an outside store/utility. The location is practical: walking distance to shops, frequent bus routes and a number of well-regarded local schools.
Important practical points: the house is solid-brick Victorian construction with older double glazing and no known wall insulation, so expect lower energy efficiency and potential upgrade costs (insulation, windows, possible modern heating controls). The interior will benefit from modernisation in places — flooring and kitchen appear dated — but the property’s size and period features give good scope to add value. Council tax is very low.
Be mindful of local context: the area records very high crime levels, which may affect insurance and resale considerations. For buyers willing to invest in targeted improvements and security measures, this remains a rare, characterful family home in Spondon with strong location advantages and immediate availability due to no onward chain.
