Important considerations: the property is leasehold with 71 years remaining.

Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas; running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. The local area notes a higher crime score—viewers may wish to check specifics and security options.
Overall, this bungalow offers accessible, low-maintenance retirement living in a convenient Market Harborough location. It will suit a cash buyer, a buyer with a lender comfortable with sub-80-year leases, or someone prepared to investigate lease-extension options and electrical heating considerations.
