This compact two-bedroom end-of-terrace offers a straightforward, affordable route into Loughborough’s housing market. The layout is traditional and efficient: lounge, kitchen, ground-floor bathroom, and a master bedroom with an en-suite wet room. The property is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and solar panels — sensible running-cost features for first-time buyers.
The rear garden is enclosed and low-maintenance, a practical outdoor space for pets or children. On-street parking and good mobile and broadband connectivity suit modern working-from-home needs. Local amenities, bus routes and a mix of state and independent schools are within easy reach, making day-to-day life convenient.
Buyers should be clear about material drawbacks: the house sits in an area recorded as very deprived with very high local crime levels, and the solid-brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. The double glazing appears to pre-date 2002 and some cosmetic updating may be needed. A buyer seeking to let will note the nearby private-renting demographic; investors should factor in management and demand dynamics.
Overall, this property suits first-time buyers who prioritise affordability and location over a turn-key finish, or investors after a modest-yield opportunity in a high-demand rental neighbourhood. A basic survey is recommended to confirm insulation, services and any further maintenance needs.
