This two-bedroom end-of-terrace offers compact, practical living in central Ilkeston, suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an affordable entry. The house has two reception rooms, a bright kitchen and a feature fireplace, giving period character and flexible living space across roughly 806 sq ft.
The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a small enclosed rear garden with paved patio and shed. Council Tax is very low (Band A), and local transport links, shops and several schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note material issues: the wider area scores as very deprived with very high local crime levels, and the building appears to have solid brick walls with no known insulation. Internally the kitchen and some finishes are dated and would benefit from modernization. There is conflicting information on the EPC (both 'A' and 'D' referenced); buyers should verify the current certificate and the condition of services before committing.
Overall this freehold terraced house presents an affordable, central option for someone prepared to carry out cosmetic updating or light refurbishment. It suits buyers prioritising location and value over a turnkey finish, and investors targeting rental demand in a compact, easily managed property.
