This traditional two-bedroom Victorian terrace offers practical living over three storeys, including two reception rooms, a boarded loft room and a private rear garden. At about 765 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking central Ilkeston convenience and straightforward potential to add value.
The property is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and useful utility space off the kitchen. On-street parking is available directly outside and local amenities, supermarkets and transport links are within walking distance of Nottingham Road.
The house is lived-in and will suit buyers prepared to modernise. The solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation and the glazing install date is unknown; cosmetic updating and energy-efficiency improvements would enhance comfort and resale value. The area shows higher crime rates and very high deprivation locally, which may affect rental demand and resale pricing.
Overall this is a practical, affordable entry into Ilkeston with a usable loft room and clear scope for improvement. Buyers wanting a move-in-perfect finish should budget for updating; investors or first-time purchasers with DIY plans will find tangible upside.
