This mid-terraced Victorian two-bedroom house sits close to Derby city centre, offering a compact, practical layout for first-time buyers or investors. The living room has a feature fireplace and connects to a separate dining room, while two upstairs bedrooms and a family bathroom provide straightforward accommodation. The property is freehold and ready to occupy with cosmetic care.
Key practical strengths include double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and excellent transport links via the A50, A38 and M1 — convenient for commuters. The small rear garden and manageable 829 sq ft footprint present easy improvement opportunities to add value, particularly by updating the kitchen and bathroom.
Buyers should note material downsides plainly: the property sits in a deprived area with high local crime rates, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated which may affect heating costs. The kitchen and bathroom need modernisation; external joinery and brickwork would benefit from redecoration. On-street parking only and a small plot size limit outdoor space and vehicle storage.
Overall this is a straightforward, affordable terraced home suited to someone seeking a city-centre starter property or a rental investment with clear scope to increase rental or resale value through modest refurbishment.
