Summary - Fox House, Nightingale Quarter, London Road, Derby DE1 2EL
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Ready-to-rent two-bed near Derby centre.
Second-floor two-bedroom apartment, open-plan living/kitchen
This second-floor two-bedroom apartment in Nightingale Quarter offers contemporary, low-maintenance living close to Derby city centre. The open-plan living/kitchen area, fitted integrated appliances and large windows create a bright, modern space. Allocated off-street parking, lift access and secure entry add practical convenience.
The property is currently let at £925 pcm until January 2026, making it immediately income-producing for an investor or a buy-to-let option for a new owner. The 250-year lease (commenced 2023) and an annual estate service charge of around £1,263 should be factored into running costs; council tax is in Band A and described as very low.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the building sits in a very deprived area with very high recorded crime levels, and heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system. There is no private garden and the apartment is small (approximately 588 sq ft). These factors affect suitability for some owner-occupiers but also help keep purchase price and running complexity lower for investors or first-time buyers seeking central location and rental potential.
