This traditional two-bedroom mid-terrace offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase in DE22 — an attractive starter home or buy-to-let close to Derby city amenities. The layout includes two reception rooms, a cellar, a well-appointed kitchen and an enclosed rear garden, making it practical for everyday living and easy to rent. Gas central heating, double glazing and mains services are already in place, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The property sits within walking distance of the city centre, Markeaton Park and university campus, with good road and rail links. Two double bedrooms and a sensible room count across about 808 sq ft make this suitable for sharers, young families or investors targeting the student/professional market. Low council tax and no onward chain strengthen affordability and speed of purchase.
Buyers should note genuine drawbacks: the area is classified as deprived with above-average local crime, and the mid-terrace sits on a small plot. The brick walls are likely uninsulated (typical for properties of this era), so buyers may wish to budget for insulation or energy-efficiency improvements. The house appears sound but will benefit from cosmetic updating in places; purchasers should verify utilities and the condition of the boiler and cellar prior to exchange.
Overall, this is a sensible, affordable property with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential and clear scope to add value through modest improvements.
