A three-bedroom end-of-terrace offered with vacant possession and clear scope for refurbishment. The property has a conventional layout with lounge, dining room and a long kitchen, plus a rear garden that, while overgrown, is a useful private outdoor space. Central heating is provided by a mains-gas combination boiler and windows are double glazed; the boiler has not been tested.
This house is being sold at auction on 25 September 2025 under unconditional terms. Successful bidders will exchange contracts at the point of sale and should allow for a minimum 5% deposit and a non-refundable buyers’ fee (4.8% of the price, minimum £6,000 inc. VAT). Buyers must review the legal pack before bidding.
Positioned close to Ilkeston town centre with good local bus links and nearby schools, the property suits investors seeking a refurbishment project for resale to first-time buyers or a longer-term buy-to-let. Note the wider area is classed as very deprived with very high crime levels; this will influence rental demand, pricing and letability. EPC rating D and refurbishment needs mean investment work will be required to improve energy performance and finish.
Overall this is a budget-priced freehold opportunity for a purchaser able to manage renovation and the realities of the local market. The combination of low guide price and clear scope for value-add should appeal to cash buyers or experienced investors prepared to complete at auction.
