High Street, Chellaston, Derby

Derby is a major commercial centre within the East Midlands region situated approximately 8 miles west of Junction 25 of the M1 motorway and 40 miles northeast of Birmingham. The city has a resident population of circa 250,000 persons with 2.2 million persons within a 45 minute drive time.

Derby traditionally draws upon a stable industrial employment basis having long standing historic connections with the rail industry and Rolls Royce Engineering, one of the city's major employers. Other major employers include Alstom (manufactures of trains), Toyota and Royal Crown Derby which was established in the city many centuries ago. In recent years, Derby University has considerably expanded incorporating Derby College, Derby College of Art & Technology and Lonsdale & Derby College of Higher Education. It is now a major employer and home to some 34,000 students.

Chellaston is a popular residential suburban village located on the southern outskirts of Derby located some 2-3 miles south of the city centre. It has a population of just over 15,000 and good access to the Derby southern bypass which forms part of the A50 Uttoxeter Road. The properties are situated on the north of High Street relatively close to Derby Road which connects directly between the southern bypass (A50) and Derby City Centre. The surrounding properties are occupied for a variety of residential uses. The area is particularly popular due to the excellent schools located close by including one towards the rear of the subject property. This property has a main frontage to the high street and the benefit of rear servicing and car parking. This property situated in a densely populated residential area where there is a strong demand for residential accommodation.

The property comprises a parade of nine flats located above the retail shops at ground floor level and forming
part of the original development of nine shops with flats above.

Access to the flats is via the rear service yard where car parking is provided for the tenants.

These are extremely good sized three bedroom flats totaling 70.32m² (757ft²) per unit.

All flats are separately metered and have the benefit of mains, water and electricity. Heating is via electric night storage heaters.

All flats are let on ASTs in accordance with the attached schedule of accommodation and tenancies.

This is a densely populated residential area midway between Derby City Centre and the southern bypass affording easy access to other parts of the country. Like elsewhere throughout the United Kingdom, there is a
strong demand for residential properties such as this.

As evidenced from our opinion of rental value, the rents are highly reversionary, and we see the potential for the property to be upgraded and for increased rents to be obtained as and when the flats become vacant.

At the front of the property there is a pubic transport bus stop.
