An inviting two-bedroom cottage in the heart of Loughborough, this Grade II-fronted period home offers genuine character and a compact town-centre lifestyle. Original features include open Victorian fireplaces, exposed beams and heritage-style fittings that give the property a warm, rustic feel. The farmhouse-style kitchen with Belfast sink and a heritage bathroom with roll-top bath are notable interior highlights. The house is freehold and modest in size (approx. 711 sq ft), suited to a professional, couple or first-time buyer seeking local amenities on the doorstep.
Practical considerations: the front is Grade II listed, which restricts external alterations to the façade and windows; most windows are single-glazed timber sashes (secondary glazing recently fitted to the front windows). Heating is gas central with a combination boiler in the loft and the EPC is D. The cellar is plastered and usable for occasional storage or a hobby room but is not formally tanked and may not suit regular living use. Parking is off-street by informal agreement with a neighbouring health centre rather than a permanent allocated space; short-stay street parking nearby is limited.
Outside space is a small courtyard garden arranged over two levels, shared visually with the neighbour. The area offers fast broadband and excellent mobile signal and benefits from very close access to shops, restaurants and leisure, while local schools include several well-regarded options. Note the location is in a very deprived ward with very high local crime statistics — buyers should consider security and insurance implications. Council tax is very low, and the property is offered at a price reflecting its size and listed status.
