This Victorian mid-terrace on Lower Derby Road offers practical family accommodation across three storeys with four bedrooms including a large loft master with en‑suite. The layout includes two reception rooms, a separate W/C, family bathroom and a small rear garden — useful outdoor space for children or pots. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; double glazing was installed post‑2002.
The house is offered freehold and provides 1,371 sqft of living space — generous for the price point — and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, useful for home working or streaming. Nearby schools include several well‑rated primary and secondary options, and local amenities and bus links are within walking distance.
Buyers should note the area is classified as very deprived with above‑average crime and predominantly blue‑collar terraces; this will affect resale and rental demand. The property shows dated interior finishes (papered walls, laminate flooring) and assumed cavity wall construction without added insulation, so budget for cosmetic updating and possible energy improvements. The plot is small and outdoor space is limited.
Overall this is a value‑led purchase for a growing household or an investor prepared to refurbish. It suits buyers seeking large internal space and good connectivity, tempered by a need to improve finishes and consider area‑related factors when assessing long‑term potential.
