A compact three-bedroom mid-terrace arranged over three floors, this Victorian townhouse offers practical living close to Ilkeston town centre. The property includes a kitchen/diner, living room with a log burner, an upstairs bathroom and private off-street parking accessed from a rear yard. With 728 sq ft of space and double glazing, it suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home or a small-scale investor.
The house retains period character such as a fireplace, sash-style windows and decorative cornices, but some elements are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the property may need modernisation to improve energy efficiency and internal finishes. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators.
Location is a genuine strength: immediate access to shops, buses and local schools, plus quick access to town-centre amenities. Practical positives include very low council tax, a private driveway and additional on-street parking. Note that the surrounding area scores as very deprived and recorded local crime levels are high, which may affect resale or rental desirability.
Buyers should budget for updating and possible insulation work; electrical, plumbing and appliance checks are recommended since services have not been independently tested. For a first-time buyer or investor comfortable with modest refurbishment, this property offers an affordable entry into the market with clear potential to increase value through targeted improvements.
