Off-street parking for one vehicle at the front
Generous, tiered rear garden with patio and two sheds
Three bedrooms with modern first-floor shower room
Large breakfast kitchen with vaulted rooflight and utility space
Gas combi central heating and double glazing throughout
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated — consider upgrades
Double glazing fitted before 2002 may be less efficient
Cosmetic updating recommended in parts, not fully modernised
This surprisingly spacious three-bedroom semi‑detached house on a tree-lined avenue in Ilkeston offers a practical, well-laid-out home suited to first-time buyers. The ground floor features separate living and dining rooms, a large breakfast kitchen and a bathroom; upstairs are three bedrooms and a modern shower room. Central heating from a gas combi boiler and double glazing provide everyday comfort.
Outside, the property benefits from off-street parking to the front and a generous, gently tiered rear garden with patio areas, artificial lawn sections and two sheds — plenty of space for children, pets or future landscaping. The plot is larger than typical for the street and offers scope to personalise or extend subject to permissions.
The house is solidly built (circa 1900–1929) and presented ready to move into, but there are a few practical points to note. The original solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so buyers seeking maximum thermal efficiency may want to upgrade. The property shows some signs of age and would reward cosmetic modernisation in places.
Set in a popular residential suburb with good transport links to Nottingham and Derby and easy M1 access, this freehold home combines kerb appeal with realistic potential. Internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, garden and overall size.
