Summary - Amber House, Railway Terrace, Derby DE1 2RU
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Secure gated parking and lift access; ideal for commuters or investors.
First-floor, lift access and high ceiling character rooms
This well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits a short walk from Derby Train Station and the city centre, offering strong commuter appeal and rental potential. High ceilings, large sash-style windows with secondary glazing and an open living/dining space give a bright, characterful feel, while an en-suite to the master and a separate modern bathroom add everyday convenience.
Practical features include lift access, gas central heating, double glazing, and an allocated parking space behind electronically controlled gates. The long lease (990 years), nominal ground rent and being chain-free are clear ownership advantages. The building’s industrial-conversion style and good ceiling heights offer tasteful period character alongside contemporary fittings.
Buyers should note material negatives: the area records very high crime levels and very slow broadband speeds, which may affect some residents and tenants. Flood risk is medium and the service charge averages £2,200 per year. The property is leasehold—suitable for buyers and investors comfortable with apartment ownership costs and urban issues.
Overall this apartment suits commuters, professionals and investors seeking a central Derby location with character features and secure parking, provided they accept the urban setting, broadband limitations and ongoing service charges.
