A newly renovated Victorian mid-terrace offering two double bedrooms and a compact rear garden close to Loughborough town centre. The house retains period character such as an open fireplace, while benefitting from a modern bathroom, kitchen and laminate flooring in the living room.
This property is well suited to first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready starter home or investors after straightforward rental stock. Its freehold tenure, mains gas central heating and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity add practical value. Nearby schools and local amenities are within easy reach.
Buyers should note material neighbourhood factors: the area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale and rental values. The building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls assumed to lack modern cavity insulation and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so heating costs may be higher than modern standards.
Overall this is a compact, characterful terrace with immediate usability and modest outdoor space. It offers good potential for first-time owners wanting a conveniently located home, and for investors seeking predictable rental demand, but purchasers should factor in neighbourhood risk and potential energy-efficiency improvements when deciding.
