Offered with no upward chain, this two double-bedroom end-terrace in a quiet cul-de-sac is an affordable entry point for first-time buyers. The house sits on a modest plot with a particularly good-sized rear garden, side access and a forecourt providing limited off-street parking for one vehicle. The extended living room and separate breakfast kitchen give practical space for daily life and socialising.
The property is centrally heated by a Baxi combination boiler and has majority double glazing, but it requires some modernisation throughout. Built of solid brick (original early 20th-century construction), the house likely lacks wall insulation and would benefit from updating the décor, kitchen fittings and general finishes to maximise comfort and energy efficiency.
Practical positives include two genuine double bedrooms, useful storage, a ground-floor living room with exposed beams and patio doors to the garden, and quick access to local amenities and well-rated primary schools. The location benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but note the area records above-average crime levels, which should be considered by buyers.
For someone prepared to invest time and modest funds, this property offers clear potential to create a comfortable starter home in Ilkeston. Its freehold tenure, low council tax and no chain make it straightforward to purchase, while the layout and garden provide scope for extension or improvement subject to planning.
