Set on Margaret Street in Coalville, this compact two-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into homeownership or a straightforward investment at £140,000. The property is freehold with a modest paved rear garden and a single garage providing secure storage or parking.
Internally the layout is practical: lounge, separate dining room, galley kitchen and a family bathroom upstairs alongside two bedrooms. The kitchen dates from the 1990s and will suit buyers seeking a tidy starter home or those willing to modernise to add value. The house is built before 1900 with solid brick walls and likely no cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades will improve comfort and running costs.
Local amenities, schools and public transport are close by, and broadband and mobile signal are strong—practical for commuters or renters. Council tax is very low, helping overall affordability. However, the area is classified as deprived with very high crime and a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood profile; these factors may affect long-term rental demand and resale values.
This property suits a first-time buyer wanting an inexpensive home to personalise, or an investor looking for a renovation project with upside from modernisation and insulation improvements. Buyers should factor in potential refurbishment costs and the local area challenges when assessing value.
