This two-bedroom end-of-terrace Victorian house on Forest Street offers compact, well-proportioned accommodation across two floors with private rear garden. The layout includes a front living room, separate dining/family room, kitchen extension to the rear and two double bedrooms served by a first-floor bathroom. The footprint (approx. 887 sq ft) suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a centrally placed urban home with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The property has genuine strengths: freehold tenure, small private garden with an enclosed seating area, convenient access to primary and secondary schools, and easy transport links toward Loughborough and the M1. Council tax is very cheap and the area is classified as generally affluent, making ongoing ownership costs comparatively low.
Buyers should note material issues and required works: the house needs renovation and there is reported damp to the side wall that will require investigation and remedial work. An outbuilding in the garden is currently unused and also needs renovation. Parking is on-street and crime levels in the immediate area are reported as high; prospective purchasers should factor security and potential remediation costs into their plans.
Overall this is a practical, characterful Victorian property with clear upside for someone willing to carry out targeted works. It will suit buyers wanting a centrally located starter home or investors looking for a straightforward refurbishment opportunity with rental or resale potential.
