Compact two-bedroom with courtyard garden, ideal for refurbishment or buy-to-let.
Chain-free end-of-terrace Victorian property
A compact Victorian end-of-terrace offered chain-free and ready for a new owner to personalise. The property has two bedrooms, a separate lounge and dining room, and a low-maintenance courtyard garden with rear access. At about 507 sq ft, this is a small home best suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a city-centre location close to the Royal Derby Hospital and local amenities.
The house is of traditional solid-brick construction (c.1900–1929) with double glazing and gas central heating. Interiors are dated and will benefit from modernization — signs of damp and worn finishes are present in parts of the living space, and the property likely lacks wall insulation. These factors make it an attractive refurbishment project with potential to add value but will require upfront work and budget for improvements.
Location is a clear strength: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, easy access to Derby city centre and several well-rated schools nearby. Practical positives include freehold tenure, very low council tax, and no onward chain for a quicker purchase. Buyers should weigh these conveniences against the neighbourhood context — the area records very high crime and very high deprivation indices, which may affect long-term desirability and rental yields.
Overall this is a straightforward, affordable entry into the Derby market for someone prepared to invest time and money. For an investor it offers short-term rental potential close to the hospital; for an owner-occupier it offers an inexpensive base in a central location with clear scope to modernise and improve energy efficiency.
