Local area: very high crime and higher deprivation — consider security measures
This end-terrace, mixed-use property sits in the heart of Loughborough town centre and presents a practical conversion or income opportunity. The ground floor retains a classic shopfront and display windows, while the self-contained first-floor maisonette currently provides one-bedroom accommodation with separate rear access. Planning permission has just been granted to convert the combined space into a two-bedroom dwelling (Application P/24/2335/2, decided 13 Feb 2025).
The building offers solid period character — timber flooring, bay window and high ceilings in places — yet it will need cosmetic refurbishment and updating to realise its full value. Heating is by electric storage heaters, walls are assumed cavity without added insulation, and services/appliances are untested. On-street residents permit parking only; there is no private garden and the plot is small.
For investors or buyers wanting a town-centre home, the property’s freehold status, no onward chain and clear planning decision remove key barriers to redevelopment. The location is highly convenient for university, rail links and local amenities, supporting both rental and owner-occupier demand. Be aware the area records very high crime and wider social deprivation, so factor security and tenant mix into plans.
