Character-filled fixer with green views — ideal for a renovation-savvy first buyer.
Victorian mid-terrace with original period features intact
Requires full modernisation throughout; significant renovation work needed
Pleasant outlook over open green to the front
Two double bedrooms plus lounge and dining rooms

Potential loft conversion to add space (subject to planning permission)
Medium flood risk and high local crime — factor into budgets and insurance
Set directly opposite a protective open green, this late-Victorian mid-terrace offers strong character and clear scope for uplift. The house retains period features—high ceilings, chimney breasts and original skirting—yet requires full modernisation throughout, making it a genuine renovation project for keen first-time buyers or builders.
Accommodation comprises two double bedrooms, lounge and dining rooms, kitchen with pantry, first-floor bathroom and a ground-floor steam room/cloakroom. The property benefits from permit parking, mains gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002), but many fittings and services will need updating to modern standards.
The rear garden is generous for this terrace but very overgrown and will require clearance and work to realise its potential. There is loft conversion potential (subject to planning permission) to create additional living space and increase value, though applications are not confirmed.
Notable negatives you should factor into budgets include medium flood risk, a high local crime level, solid-brick walls likely without insulation and overall renovation needs. For buyers comfortable with a full project, this property offers a rewarding blank canvas in Chester Green with pleasant green-front views and easy access to Derby city amenities.
