This newly renovated three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a ready-to-move-in option in a popular Ilkeston location. The property combines period character with contemporary finishes: a large fitted kitchen, modern bathroom, two reception rooms and recent landscaping to the rear garden. At about 881 sq ft, it suits first-time buyers or small families seeking straightforward living with good commuter links to Derby and Nottingham.
Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas central heating and freehold tenure. The house sits on a quiet, tree-lined street close to the Erewash Canal and local amenities, with several well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working or entertainment.
Buyers should note some material points: the plot is small and outdoor space is compact despite the landscaped garden. The property’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity wall insulation (assumed), so consider potential heating costs or retrofit work. There is one family bathroom and only one cloakroom downstairs. Local crime levels are higher than average for the area—worth checking neighbourhood safety and security measures before purchase.
Overall this is a well-presented, cost-conscious starter home with good location advantages and immediate move-in appeal. It will suit buyers prioritising location, modern interiors and transport links, and who are comfortable with a modest-sized plot and limited external space.
