Summary - 26 LITCHEN CLOSE ILKESTON DE7 8HJ
3 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Single-storey home on a quiet cul-de-sac with garage, drive and nearby schools.
Detached single-storey house with private driveway and detached garage
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac, this detached single-storey home offers practical, low-maintenance living with private parking and a detached garage. The modest footprint (approximately 567 sq ft) suits a couple or someone looking to downsize while keeping three bedrooms for flexible use — guest room, office or hobby space.
Inside, the layout is traditional and straightforward: entrance hall, lounge with a feature brick fireplace, kitchen with gas cooker point and a bathroom with shower-over-bath. Double glazing and a gas central heating boiler are in place, though some fixtures and finishes show their age and would benefit from modernisation to improve energy efficiency and comfort.
Outdoors, the front and rear gardens are described as well kept, with a raised lawn and a paved seating area. The driveway and secure side gate lead to a powered garage with strong lockable doors — useful for storage or a workshop. Local amenities, good transport links and several well-rated schools are within easy reach, making the location practical for everyday life.
Buyers should note material points: the home is small in overall size, has a single bathroom, double glazing predates 2002, and the surrounding area scores as deprived with above-average crime. These factors affect longer-term resale and may require investment. Council Tax Band C and freehold tenure are positives for running costs and ownership simplicity.
