White Street
Derby

A well-presented three bedroom Victorian residence, enviably positioned within one of Derby’s most established and sought-after residential enclaves, just off Kedleston Road. This distinguished setting offers convenient access to Derby city centre while remaining within comfortable walking distance of the scenic expanses of Darley Park and Markeaton Park— achieving a desirable balance between urban accessibility and green open space.

This elegant bay-fronted period family home reflects the architectural character of the late Victorian era and retains a wealth of original features that underscore its heritage. A particularly striking first impression is afforded by the stunning Minton tiled entrance hall, a richly detailed and beautifully preserved feature that sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. Generous ceiling heights, well-proportioned reception rooms, and abundant natural light contribute to interiors of notable scale and comfort, lending themselves seamlessly to modern family living while preserving historic charm. Additionally, the property benefits from an extremely useful cellar, offering valuable ancillary storage or potential for further utilisation, subject to the necessary consents. Externally, a beautiful walled garden provides a private and sheltered setting, ideal for both quiet enjoyment and entertaining.

The current owners have undertaken a thoughtful programme of improvements, investing significantly to enhance both efficiency and everyday comfort without diminishing the property’s architectural integrity. High-performance double-glazed windows have been installed throughout, carefully selected and sympathetically styled to complement the home’s period proportions and detailing while providing improved thermal efficiency and acoustic performance. The property further benefits from a recently refurbished bathroom, appointed to a high standard and incorporating underfloor heating, introducing a welcome element of everyday luxury and comfort.

The sole exception is the elegant set of French doors, which remain single glazed by design in order to preserve the delicacy and refined aesthetic of the principal reception room — a considered decision that maintains the room’s visual harmony and period authenticity.

The result is a spacious and characterful family home, combining Victorian charm with modern practicality, situated in a consistently desirable residential location.

We’ve absolutely loved living here – it has a real sense of community. There are regular neighbourhood events, arts trails, and regular play days for local children that bring everyone together making it a friendly and welcoming place to call home.

As a couple we loved being able to wander into town in the evening for drinks, or to head out to the Peaks at the drop of a hat. Since we have become a family, having excellent parks, nurseries and schools in walking distance has also been incredibly beneficial .

The local area has everything you need with shops, cafés and great pubs within easy reach. It’s a location that offers the best of both convenience and community.

We love the community feel of the area, it is a fantastic place to bring up a family. We love the fact that everything we need is within walking distance, as well as excellent transport links to anywhere further afield.
