A substantial double fronted detached period residence enjoying a favoured location close to the City centre - Currently used as a Commercial Office but with Excellent Potential (Subject to Planning) to convert to a superior home
This property, located on Burton Road in Derby, is a substantial double-fronted detached period residence currently used as commercial offices. It boasts 12 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, although the square footage is not provided. The property's age is evident in its architectural details and the photos display a mix of well-maintained and potentially outdated interiors. The exterior exhibits typical features of period buildings. There is limited visible external space in the provided photos. The listing notes the property's potential for conversion into a superior home, subject to planning permission. The listed price of £650,000 is notably higher than several nearby properties. A comprehensive survey and planning consultation would be advisable to assess potential renovation costs and feasibility, as well as confirming the actual size of the property. Nearby amenities such as schools and transport links represent a positive aspect of the location. The nearby schools include those rated 'Good' by Ofsted. Overall, this property presents a unique opportunity, but requires thorough investigation before purchase. The potential for conversion is significant, yet the current condition and the substantial upfront investment necessary necessitate careful consideration. Buyers should factor in potential renovation costs and planning permission complexities.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclamer: This is our opition and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research.*
