Summary - 24 WATSON ROAD ILKESTON DE7 9LA
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Compact starter home with driveway, enclosed garden and great commuter links.
Two-bedroom semi-detached home, circa 488 sq ft
A neat two-bedroom semi on Shipley View, offered with no upward chain and ready for a first purchase or buy-to-let. The house sits on a small plot with driveway parking, an enclosed rear garden and practical, modern fittings installed since 2002.
Ground floor living includes a good-sized lounge/diner with French doors to the paved patio and an efficient fitted kitchen. Upstairs are two bedrooms (one with built-in wardrobes) and a single family bathroom. Gas central heating, double glazing and cavity wall insulation give reasonable running efficiency.
The location is a genuine convenience: close to the Nutbrook Trail for walks, a short drive to Ilkeston station and easy access to M1 junctions 25 and 26 — attractive for commuters. Council tax costs are low and the property is freehold, simplifying purchase for a first-time buyer.
Drawbacks to note: the house is compact (around 488 sqft) and the plot is small, limiting extension potential. Bedroom two and some internal finishes will benefit from cosmetic updating to suit modern tastes. There is only one bathroom, which may not suit families needing additional facilities. Overall, this is a straightforward, low-maintenance starter home or commuter investment with clear scope to add value through modest refurbishment.
