A bright, move-in ready two-bedroom period home that will appeal to first-time buyers and young families. The house has been recently refurbished throughout with a brand-new fitted breakfast kitchen, stylish four-piece family bathroom and new floor coverings, so little immediate work is required.
The layout is practical: a generous through lounge-diner leads to the open-plan kitchen, while two double bedrooms and a large family bathroom sit on the first floor. Complementing the interior is gas central heating from a combi boiler and new double glazing throughout.
Outside, the property benefits from an unexpectedly generous, tiered rear garden with two paved patios and lawned areas — useful for children or entertaining. The house is freehold and offered chain-free, making it straightforward to purchase as a first home or starter investment.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the property is of solid brick construction (original walls likely uninsulated), so additional insulation works could be required to improve energy efficiency. The local area shows higher-than-average crime levels and significant area deprivation, which may concern some buyers. Council tax is very low, and the home is close to schools, shops and Ilkeston station, balancing those local challenges with clear everyday convenience.
