A traditional 1930s detached house offering generous family accommodation across c.1,529 sq ft, extended to the rear to include a bright sun room. The living room features a bay window and log burner; the extended kitchen and dining space provide flexible, practical ground-floor living. Off-street parking and a large rear garden with deck, greenhouse and workshop add outdoor appeal for families and hobbyists.
Arranged over two floors, the home has three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom plus a separate WC. Double glazing has been installed (post-2002) and gas central heating serves the property, but the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so further thermal upgrades will improve comfort and running costs.
The property sits close to Ilkeston town centre amenities and well-rated local schools, making it suitable for families seeking space and convenience. Buyers should note the area records higher-than-average crime and broader social deprivation indicators—security and neighbourhood concerns are material factors to consider.
This is a substantial freehold detached home with clear potential for cosmetic updating and energy-efficiency improvements. The combination of size, off-road parking and a large plot makes it attractive to growing families or buyers planning sensitive refurbishment.
