2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter home near station with clear renovation potential.
["Two double bedrooms and two reception rooms","Approx. 828 sq ft — compact but practical Victorian layout","Close to town centre and train station — good transport links","High long-term flood risk for postcode — check flood reports","Area has above-average crime — security considerations advised","Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — retrofit insulation recommended","Small low-maintenance rear garden and outdoor store","On-street parking only; no off-street parking"]
This compact two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into Loughborough close to the train station and local amenities. The property has two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, a four-piece bathroom and a small, low-maintenance rear yard — a practical layout for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for straightforward accommodation.
The house retains period character such as a traditional fireplace and solid brick walls, but it will benefit from updating throughout to reach modern standards. Heating is gas boiler and radiators with double glazing fitted (installation date unknown). The footprint is modest at about 828 sq ft, so living spaces and bedrooms are comfortably sized rather than expansive.
Important practical points: the area has higher-than-average crime and a high long-term flood risk for the postcode; solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and may require retrofit insulation for better thermal performance. On-street parking only and a small rear garden limit outside space and vehicle convenience. A pre-purchase survey is strongly advised to check services and fabric before committing.
For a buyer wanting an affordable Victorian terrace within easy reach of transport and schools, this house represents clear potential once modernisation and risk considerations are addressed. Investors should factor in area profile and flood risk when modelling returns.
