A deceptively spacious Victorian townhouse set over three storeys in the heart of Barrow Upon Soar, ideal for first-time buyers seeking character and usable space. The living room centres on an exposed brick fireplace with a log burner, creating a cosy family hub while the adjacent dining area and lean-to open directly onto a long, lawned rear garden — excellent for summer entertaining or future landscaping projects.
The fitted kitchen is practical and well laid-out, with gas hob, electric oven and useful shelving; both double bedrooms include fitted storage and the top-floor master benefits from elevated views and large eaves storage. The house is double glazed, gas centrally heated via boiler and radiators, and presented well throughout, so it’s move-in ready for many buyers.
Notable practical points: the property is a solid-brick Victorian build with no known wall insulation, and broadband speeds are slow — factors to consider if you work from home or plan energy-efficiency improvements. There is a medium flooding risk in the area, and the building’s age means future buyers should budget for period-appropriate maintenance and potential upgrading (for example, wall insulation or modernising services).
Overall this is an attractive, affordable (very low council tax) two-bedroom end-terrace with a generous garden and genuine character. It will suit first-time buyers who want a ready-to-live-in home with scope to personalise, or small households seeking a well-located base near good schools and local amenities.
