Budget-friendly three-bed with garden, parking and strong transport links — ideal first-time buy.
Freehold three-bedroom end-terrace with no onward chain
This three-bedroom end-terrace on Kingston Avenue is a practical, freehold starter home in Ilkeston with no onward chain. The property offers a bright living room, kitchen/diner, utility room and a fitted three-piece bathroom — all arranged over a traditional two-storey Victorian layout. A driveway/carport and an enclosed rear garden add useful outdoor space for everyday family living.
The house is best suited to first-time buyers or someone looking to secure an entry-level property with good local connections. Ilkeston town centre amenities, frequent bus routes and a nearby railway station mean commuting to Nottingham or Derby is straightforward. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and digital needs.
Practical considerations are clear: the property was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and the double glazing appears to be older (installed before 2002). There is a single bathroom and a small plot size, so some modernisation and energy-efficiency improvements would add value and comfort. Crime in the area is above average, so buyers should factor that into their decision.
Overall this is a no-chain, affordably taxed (very cheap council tax) three-bedroom home with strong local amenities and onward potential. It presents a realistic opportunity for a first-time buyer to move in and gradually upgrade over time.
