This Victorian three-bedroom semi offers traditional proportions and practical family living across three floors. The house benefits from bay windows, high ceilings and two reception rooms, giving flexible space for a growing household. A private rear garden with a sheltered patio provides an outdoor entertaining area, and a driveway to the front allows off-street parking for one car.
Recent renewals include the roof, gutters and boiler replaced about four years ago, reducing immediate major-maintenance worries. The property is chain-free and within comfortable walking distance of Ilkeston town centre, good primary and secondary schools, bus links and nearby green space at Shipley Country Park and the Nutbrook Trail.
Be clear about likely improvement costs: the solid brick walls appear uninsulated (as-built) and the glazing was installed before 2002, so thermal upgrades could improve comfort and energy performance. The current EPC predates the roof and boiler works and may not reflect an improved rating. The plot is small and the house sits in a neighbourhood with higher crime levels and wider area deprivation, which some buyers may find a concern.
This home suits buyers seeking space and period character with scope to modernise energy performance and interiors. It will particularly appeal to families wanting good local schools, convenient town access and nearby countryside, while purchasers should budget for targeted upgrades to insulation and finishes.
