A seemingly perfect family home has appeared on the property market in a quiet Derbyshire village, but prospective buyers are in for a shock. The three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ilkeston is advertised for £190,000, yet the estate agent's glowing description conveniently omits one colossal feature.
The Property's Selling Points
According to the listing by estate agents Burchell Edwards, the property in Stanley village has plenty to offer. The home, advertised on Rightmove, boasts a large lounge-diner, a well-equipped kitchen, and a conservatory on the ground floor.
Upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Externally, the home features a private enclosed garden and driveway parking at the front, all situated in a quiet cul-de-sac with excellent transport links.
The Elephant in the Room – Or Rather, the Garden
While the listing paints an idyllic picture, the photographs reveal the property's most dominant feature: an enormous electricity pylon standing just metres from the conservatory.
This steel giant looms over the rear garden, creating an unavoidable focal point that is impossible to miss. The pylon's presence is so significant it would undoubtedly become a major conversation point for any future occupants, though the estate agent's description makes no reference to it.
A Must-See Viewing?
The listing enthusiastically describes the property as a 'perfect first time or family purchase' and urges potential buyers to arrange a viewing. However, the omission of the pylon from the written details raises questions about property transparency.
For £190,000, buyers in the Ilkeston area are being offered a home with ample living space, but they must decide if the towering electrical structure in the garden is a deal-breaker or merely an unusual quirk of a otherwise attractive property.
