This two-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian house sits a short walk from Loughborough town centre and the railway station, offering strong rental and commuter appeal. The property retains period character — fireplaces, sash-style windows and exposed brick — combined with later double glazing and practical kitchen fittings.
Internally the layout is straightforward: front lounge, rear dining room, kitchen and two bedrooms above. Rooms are modest but well-proportioned for a town terrace, giving comfortable living or lettable accommodation across approximately 846 sq ft. The rear garden is small but landscaped for low-maintenance outdoor use; parking is on-street with resident permits.
Buyers should note material negatives: the area records very high crime and high deprivation, and the property falls in a medium flood-risk zone. The solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation and some rooms and finishes will benefit from refurbishment to improve comfort and energy performance.
For a first-time buyer seeking an affordable town-centre home or an investor targeting steady yield, this house offers clear potential. Its freehold tenure, town-centre location and excellent transport links make it a practical, cost-effective purchase — provided buyers accept the neighbourhood challenges and factor in possible upgrade and survey costs.
