Low-price investment with refurbishment potential and no upward chain.
Two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace with two reception rooms
A compact two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offered freehold with no upward chain — aimed at investors seeking affordable entry in Ilkeston. The house has two reception rooms, a small fitted kitchen, first-floor bathroom and a lean-to leading to a paved courtyard garden, providing straightforward rental accommodation or short-term refurbishment potential.
The property is structurally typical for its era: solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), mains gas boiler and radiators, and double glazing installed before 2002. These features speak to durability but also indicate likely improvement costs for energy efficiency and modern comfort. The overall size and layout suit a two-bed rental or starter home; room dimensions are modest but functional.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the immediate area scores as deprived with relatively high local crime and challenged community indicators, so tenant demand and yields must be assessed against local market conditions. The interior décor and fittings are dated and will need modernisation to attract higher rents or sale value. Proceedable buyers only are requested due to current offer expectations.
At the asking price of £100,000 this property represents a low-cost acquisition with hands-on potential — attractive to investors prepared to carry improvement works, or developer-buyers considering light refurbishment for resale or rent. Factor in insulation, window upgrades, and cosmetic refurbishment when appraising total costs.
