This modern three-bedroom end-of-terrace, built in 2021, offers low-maintenance living within easy walking distance of Derby city centre, the train station and Pride Park. The ground floor open-plan living, dining and kitchen space opens to an enclosed rear lawn via French doors, creating straightforward, practical accommodation for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The property is currently let for £12,000 pa, presenting an immediate rental income for an investor, and comes with an NHBC guarantee until 2035. Gas central heating, double glazing and an off-street driveway add everyday convenience, while the compact footprint (approximately 747 sq ft) keeps running costs down — council tax is described as cheap.
Buyers should note important local factors: the wider area is classified as very deprived with a very high crime rate, which may affect long-term resale values and tenant demand. The house itself is small in overall size and has a single family bathroom; any purchaser wanting more space or additional bathrooms would need to consider reconfiguration or extension subject to planning.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking modern, low-maintenance urban living near transport and amenities, or an investor looking for an established rental. Its strengths are location, recent build quality and immediate income; its limitations are the compact size and local social and crime statistics, which should be weighed when considering purchase or tenancy plans.
