Set between Heanor and Ilkeston and within easy reach of Shipley Country Park, this well-presented two-double-bedroom town house offers a practical, low-maintenance first home. The layout feels larger than the footprint suggests, with a generous lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, entrance porch and a useful lean-to storage room with power and light. Off-street parking for at least two cars plus a garage make this a rare find for the price.
The house dates from the 1950s–60s and benefits from double glazing, a gas boiler with radiator heating and a large plot with a low-maintenance rear garden and mature planting. Commuters will value fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and straightforward access to the M1 and links into Nottingham and Derby. The accommodation is ready to move into but offers scope to personalise or modernise kitchen or bathroom fittings to taste.
Be clear that the property sits in an area with above-average deprivation and average local crime levels; nearby schools are a mix of Good and one Requires Improvement. The mid-20th-century construction means buyers should check service ages and consider any future updating. Overall this is a sensible, practical home for a first-time buyer or someone downsizing who wants parking, outdoor space and good transport links without high maintenance.
An internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the deceptively spacious rooms and practical layout. Early inspection will show how the home suits a buyer seeking a comfortable, commuter-friendly base with straightforward renovation potential.
