34, Noskwith Street, Ilkeston, DE7 4BX

Guide price £260,000-£300,000 Occupying a distinctive three-storey design and enjoying a superb rear outlook across the Erewash Canal and neighbouring playing fields, this four-bedroom home offers considerably more than first impressions might suggest.

Arranged across three floors, the accommodation combines a modern interior with a particularly versatile ground floor, three further bedrooms to the upper floor and, undoubtedly, one of the property's greatest features – a beautifully established rear garden designed to take full advantage of its waterside setting.

A driveway to the front provides off-road parking and leads to the integral garage, which has been partitioned internally to provide useful storage.

Ground floor The entrance hallway provides access to the ground-floor accommodation, including a modern shower room fitted with a walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin.

There is also a separate utility room providing additional workspace and laundry facilities, while an internal door gives access to the partitioned integral garage/storage area.

At the rear is bedroom four, a particularly versatile room which could equally work as a guest bedroom, home office or additional sitting room.

Patio doors provide plenty of natural light and, more importantly, open directly onto the rear garden, immediately introducing one of the defining features of the house – its open outlook towards the canal and playing fields beyond.

First floor The first floor provides the principal living spaces.

Positioned at the front of the house is a well-proportioned living room, providing plenty of space for everyday seating and furniture and offering a comfortable main reception room away from the bedrooms.

To the rear is the modern L-shaped kitchen diner.

Well appointed with a range of contemporary units, work surfaces and integrated appliances, the kitchen incorporates an oven, microwave, dishwasher and induction hob with extractor.

There is ample space for a dining table, creating a sociable everyday living and entertaining space.

Windows positioned to the rear also provide elevated views across the garden towards the Erewash Canal – an outlook that becomes an increasingly noticeable feature as you move through the upper floors of the house.

Second floor The second floor provides three further bedrooms and the main family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a generous double and benefits from its own modern en-suite shower room, fitted with a walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin.

Two further bedrooms are positioned towards the rear of the house, both enjoying views across the canal and surrounding open space.

The accommodation is completed by the family bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath, WC and wash hand basin.

The garden & canal-side outlook If the three-storey accommodation makes this house unusual, the rear garden is what makes it memorable.

Immediately outside the house is a patio area providing space for outdoor dining and entertaining, followed by a lawn and established planting.

The garden then drops gently towards its lower section, where mature planting creates a more secluded setting around an impressive timber-built summer house.

Beyond this is a decked seating area positioned at the end of the garden.

A glazed balustrade has been deliberately used here so that rather than interrupting the outlook, there is a clear view directly towards the Erewash Canal and the open playing fields beyond.

It creates a fantastic place to sit during the warmer months, entertain friends or simply enjoy a setting that feels remarkably removed from the typical urban garden.

The timber summer house adds another dimension to the space and provides an excellent garden retreat alongside the waterside seating area.

It is this combination of the canal, open outlook, mature garden, summer house and waterside decking that gives a character that is difficult to appreciate from the front of the property alone.

For buyers looking for flexible four-bedroom accommodation with modern kitchen and bathroom fittings, off-road parking and something genuinely different outside, this is a home that deserves to be seen from the back as much as the front.
