Summary - 23 BLANCHCROFT MELBOURNE DERBY DE73 8GG
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful home with large garden and rear parking for first-time buyers.
Chain free two-bedroom terraced cottage
This cosy two-bedroom terraced cottage in Blanch Croft comes to market chain free, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character, convenience and outdoor space. The house retains period charm in a compact layout, with a single reception room and two peaceful bedrooms. The bespoke wooden kitchen is a standout feature, offering rustic character and practical storage, though some modernisation could improve flow and efficiency.
Externally the property benefits from an extensive garden with established shrubs and off-street parking to the rear — a rare combination for a town-fringe terraced home. Local amenities, good primary schools and reliable transport links make everyday life straightforward, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
There are some material points to note: the overall internal area is small (around 457 sq ft) and the house is a pre-1900 solid-brick build, so walls are likely uninsulated and upgrading thermal performance (insulation, glazing, heating improvements) may be required to improve energy efficiency; the EPC is currently D. The kitchen, though bespoke and characterful, shows a rustic, dated finish and could benefit from modernisation. This property suits buyers who value period charm, a generous garden and a great location, and who are happy to invest modestly to improve energy efficiency and internal finish.
