Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house is offered with no upward chain and has scope for updating.

Outside, a block-paved driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a detached single garage with power. The enclosed rear garden has a paved patio, artificial lawn, two timber sheds and planted borders. The boiler is in the kitchen and, according to the vendor, was last serviced in 2025. The property is a short drive from Ilkeston town centre and its everyday amenities.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £180,000, this three-bedroom semi has a useful starting point: a generous lounge, dining kitchen, two shower rooms, driveway parking and a detached garage. The photographed interiors are dated rather than visibly in need of major work, leaving scope for a light refresh of decoration and flooring, with the kitchen and shower-room finishes to assess in person. The rear garden is usable, though one timber structure has deteriorated lower sections.

The grade E reflects an incomplete value picture, not a finding that the asking price is dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The garage, parking and practical layout give the project some appeal, but a floor-area figure would help establish the value case.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the patterned bedroom wallpaper, older carpets and dated living-area finishes.
  • Update the kitchen and shower-room finishes to suit your taste, with the photos not establishing a need for full replacement.
  • Make use of the driveway, detached garage and usable garden, tidying the borders and improving or replacing the deteriorated timber structure.
