Summary - 52 BALFOUR ROAD DERBY DE23 8UN
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable Victorian mid-terrace with two receptions and courtyard — ideal for first-time buyers.
Three good-sized bedrooms with bright natural light
Set on Balfour Road in Derby, this three-bedroom mid-terraced house blends Victorian character with practical, modern living. Two good reception rooms and large windows keep the ground floor bright; a downstairs bathroom is a convenient and unusual feature for a home of this size. The low-maintenance paved courtyard garden offers private outdoor space with minimal upkeep.
The property will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking an affordable entry into a well-connected area. At about 948 sq ft and offered freehold with a guide price of £150,000–£160,000, it presents straightforward rental or owner-occupier potential. Local schools, shops and regular bus routes are within easy reach, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Buyers should note the house is a traditional solid-brick Victorian build (circa 1900–1929) with no known wall insulation and double glazing of unknown age. Rooms are small-to-medium in size and the plot is modest, so there is limited scope for large extensions. The local area is classified as very deprived with a high crime rate — important considerations for those prioritising neighbourhood security.
Overall, this is a practical, affordable home with clear potential after modest upgrades: adding insulation, modernising services where required and cosmetic refits would improve comfort and long-term value. For those seeking a compact family home or a rental investment in Derby, this property is worth viewing.
