Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £125,000, this two-bedroom freehold is priced at £164/sq ft, around 30% below the local average—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to take on a project. The patterned finishes, worn flooring and damaged kitchen wall areas give you scope to reshape the interior to your taste, while the rear garden offers room to clear and improve. It is well placed for Ilkeston town centre and about a mile from the railway station.

The £28,000–£48,000 renovation range points to a substantial programme rather than a light refresh. The existing layout is a practical starting point, but visible staining to flooring in places and cracking or unevenness in the rendered frontage are worth checking as you plan the work. Overall, the low asking price and clear scope make this a potential opportunity, with the project budget and execution central to the result.

Key opportunities

  • The practical two-bedroom layout gives a buyer a starting point to update the home's finishes and tailor the space to their own style.
  • The kitchen has fitted units in place, offering the choice to assess what can be retained and made good or replaced as part of the renovation.
  • Clear the overgrown rear garden and improve its worn paving to make better use of the outdoor space.

Key risks

  • The £28,000–£48,000 works range, damaged kitchen wall finishes, worn flooring and dated finishes across several rooms point to a substantial budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • Visible cracking or unevenness in the rendered frontage should be checked, and the cause of the distinct floor staining is unknown.
