This two-bedroom semi-detached home on Park Road offers an affordable entry into a sought-after Ilkeston neighbourhood. Set on a generous plot with a long, south-facing garden and a rare double garage, the property gives space and storage that are increasingly hard to find close to schools, parks and good transport links.
Internally the layout is straightforward and practical: living room, dining kitchen, two bedrooms and a large family bathroom, with an additional reduced-height loft room shown in the particulars. The house sits on traditional solid-brick construction with double glazing and mains gas central heating, keeping running costs low (Council Tax Band A).
The property does require updating and some remedial work. External photos indicate worn fence panels, path wear and potential damp issues around the facade; the original solid walls are likely uninsulated and the interior will benefit from modernisation to unlock value. Buyers should factor refurbishment and possible damp investigation into budget and plans.
For first-time buyers or investors, this home represents clear potential: a large garden, detached double garage and good location provide scope to improve living space and resale value. The local area offers trusted schools, parks and fast broadband, making it a practical base while works are carried out.
