Summary - 57 WESLEY STREET ILKESTON DE7 8QW
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Low-cost three-bed starter with garden and strong transport links.
Three bedrooms, two reception rooms, 865 sq ft
A straightforward three-bedroom terraced home on Wesley Street offering an affordable entry into Ilkeston ownership. The property features two reception rooms, a practical kitchen and a private rear garden — useful extras for first-time buyers wanting space without a high price tag. Council tax band A and a Freehold tenure keep running costs and ownership complexities low.
Practical strengths include excellent public transport links, fast broadband and strong mobile signal, plus several nearby primary schools rated Good or Outstanding. The house measures about 865 sq ft and benefits from double glazing fitted since 2002, making it reasonably comfortable while you plan improvements.
Buyers should be clear-eyed about work and running-cost considerations. Heating is from an oil-fired boiler and radiators; oil can be more expensive and requires storage and ordering. The external walls are cavity with no insulation assumed, so upgrading insulation would improve comfort and energy bills. The plot is small and the local area scores as deprived, which may affect longer-term resale compared with more affluent neighbourhoods.
This is a good-value starter home for people who want to personalise and improve rather than move into a turnkey property. Reasonable size rooms, scope for cosmetic or energy-efficiency upgrades and a low asking price give a clear pathway to creating a comfortable family home over time.
