Summary - 49 MELBOURNE ROAD IBSTOCK LE67 6NN
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Affordable starter home with character and clear renovation potential for added value.
- Two bedrooms with well-proportioned rooms and original character beams
- Large kitchen overlooking small, easy‑care rear garden and patio
- EPC E; likely needs energy‑efficiency upgrades and possible insulation
- Solid brick Victorian/Edwardian build; double glazing of unknown age
- On‑street parking only; no private front driveway
- Small plot and compact footprint, limited garden expansion potential
- Area shows above‑average crime and local deprivation; factor location risk
- Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, very low council tax
A compact two-bedroom end terrace offering character features and scope to add value. The ground floor has a sizable lounge-diner with exposed beams and a feature fireplace, and a large kitchen opening to a small, low-maintenance rear garden with paved patio. Upstairs provides two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower-over-bath.
The house dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls and double glazing; the property is tidy but dated and will benefit from internal modernisation and energy-efficiency improvements (current EPC band E). Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; there is no confirmed wall insulation, so renovation budgets should include potential insulation and window/boiler updates.
Location suits first-time buyers or investors: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, cheap council tax and local schools rated Good. The plot is small, parking is on-street, and the house sits on a main road in a working‑class town fringe with above‑average local crime levels and wider area deprivation — factors to consider for long‑term resale or letting.
Overall, this is an affordable, freehold starter home with character and clear refurbishment potential for someone prepared to modernise and improve energy performance.
