This recently modernised two-bedroom Victorian terrace offers a compact, well-presented home in the heart of Derby’s city centre. Arranged over a straightforward linear layout, the property has a lounge with feature fireplace, separate dining room, modern kitchen with utility space, useful cellar storage and a contemporary bathroom. Gas central heating and uPVC double glazing help with running costs; council tax band A keeps outgoings low.
The rear garden is low-maintenance with a paved patio and an elevated decked seating area — ideal for easy upkeep or casual outdoor use. At 679 sq ft the rooms are modest in scale, suited to a first-time buyer, small household or investor aiming for city-centre rental. The freehold tenure and no upward chain make for a simple purchase process.
Important factual points: the house is a late‑Victorian solid‑brick build (assumed uninsulated wall construction) with an EPC rating of D and double glazing of unknown installation date. Parking is on‑street by permit only. The property sits in a busy city neighbourhood with high local crime statistics and the wider area characterised by students and professionals — good access to the cathedral quarter, shops, rail links and major road routes but city-centre living means urban noise and activity.
Overall this is a tidy, move‑in ready example of a small traditional terrace that suits buyers wanting low maintenance, central location and affordable council tax. Buyers seeking larger rooms, guaranteed wall insulation or private parking should factor in potential upgrade costs and the local area’s higher crime level before viewing.
