Summary - 8 SCHOOL LANE MARKET HARBOROUGH LE16 9DJ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Short walk to shops and station; characterful layout with improvement potential.
Two reception rooms and two bedrooms in a town centre terrace
This late‑Victorian mid‑terrace offers genuine period charm just a short walk from Market Harborough town centre and the station. The house provides two reception rooms, two bedrooms, a compact kitchen with adjoining utility, and a bathroom with a freestanding bath — ready for someone who wants character with a manageable footprint. It is offered freehold and chain free.
There are clear strengths for first‑time buyers: traditional sash windows, original fireplaces, engineered timber floors and good natural light. Broadband and mobile signal are both strong, and local schools and amenities are within easy reach. The property has an EPC in band D with reasonable improvement potential.
Buyers should note material maintenance items: the roof shows aged slate with some wear and will need inspection and likely repairs; the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated which affects running costs; parts of the house present as unrenovated and will need updating. The immediate area is affluent and family‑oriented but recorded local crime levels are above average, so prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on neighbourhood safety.
Overall this is a compact, characterful town terrace suited to a first‑time buyer, professional couple or small family wanting central convenience and scope to add value through targeted improvements.
