Set on the upper floors of an attractive Victorian house, this two-bedroom penthouse-style flat blends period character with practical upgrades. Large UPVC double-glazed sash windows and high ceilings provide plenty of light and a sense of space, while gas central heating and a modern kitchen make the property ready to live in. Off-street resident parking, a garden and fast broadband make it practical for daily life and working from home.
The layout suits first-time buyers, professional couples or small families: a generous open-plan living/dining room, a very large main bedroom with wardrobes, a smaller second bedroom or study, and a notably spacious four-piece bathroom. There is useful built-in storage and a landing area that can serve as a home office.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with around 110 years remaining, an annual service charge of £800 and ground rent of £300. The building’s solid-brick construction likely has limited wall insulation, so prepare for potential energy-improvement work if desired. The decor shows some mid-century/dated elements in places, offering clear scope for cosmetic updating to add value.
Positioned between Littleover high street and Derby city centre, the location balances peaceful tree-lined streets with easy access to shopping, hospitals, parks and transport links. Overall this is a characterful, well-located home with immediate usability and sensible potential for improvement and uplift.
