High local crime and area deprivation — consider safety and resale
This three-bedroom mid-terraced house on Harlaxton Street offers practical space, a driveway and a sizeable rear garden — a rare combination close to local shops, schools and transport. The ground floor layout includes a living room and a separate dining room (currently used as a fourth bedroom), giving flexibility for families or tenants. The property is being sold with no onward chain, speeding up purchase for buyers wanting a quick move or investors seeking immediate occupancy.
The house is ready for modernisation: the kitchen and some finishes are dated, with visible wear and mould in the ceiling area. Double glazing is in place but installed before 2002, walls have only partial insulation (timber-frame sections assumed) and the home would benefit from updates to heating and energy-efficiency measures. Overall the accommodation is average in size (about 1,130 sq ft) with a single bathroom and standard ceiling heights.
This location suits buyers who value convenience and rental potential. The area is classified as an urban cultural mix with quick access to bus routes, shops, a medical centre and a range of schools (several rated Good and one Outstanding). Note the neighbourhood has higher crime and greater area deprivation than average — important for buyers to consider when assessing safety and long-term capital growth.
For the practical buyer: the property is freehold with mains gas central heating, off-street parking and no flood risk. EPC currently rated D and council tax is very low. The house presents clear potential to add value through targeted refurbishment and energy upgrades, whether you want a family home or an investment letting opportunity.
