Summary - 44 MILL STREET ILKESTON DE7 8GQ
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Affordable central home with period features and strong transport links.
Freehold two-bedroom Victorian terrace, approx. 806 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom period terrace in central Ilkeston, offered freehold and suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking an affordable entry point. The house has two generous reception rooms, a bright kitchen and period features such as a feature fireplace that give the home character. Broadband speeds are fast and public transport links, schools and local amenities are close by, making daily life convenient.
The property is functional but would benefit from cosmetic updating in places; the mid-century kitchen and some internal finishes are dated. External space is limited to a small paved rear garden and yard, typical of terraced plots, so outdoor upkeep is minimal but landscaping potential is restricted. Construction dates to c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls (insulation assumed absent) and double glazing of unknown install date.
Buyers should note practical and location-related factors: crime is recorded as very high locally and the wider area is described as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental demand. Energy performance is inconsistently reported in the paperwork (brochure states EPC A while another note records EPC D) — prospective purchasers should verify the current EPC and ask for servicing records for the gas boiler and radiators.
Overall this property represents an affordable, well-located starter home with period charm and clear scope for improvement. It will suit someone prioritising central access and low council tax costs, and who is comfortable undertaking light modernisation or accepting a compact garden and busy urban setting.
