This three-bedroom end-of-terrace Victorian house on Mount Pleasant Road is a chain-free opportunity for families or investors prepared to renovate. The property offers a generous rear garden and bay-windowed ground-floor reception, providing a solid base to create a comfortable modern home or rental asset.
The house requires updating throughout: cosmetic modernisation is needed and there are flagged concerns for damp and potential mould in places. The building is solid brick with no known cavity insulation and double glazing with unknown installation date — buyers should budget for thermal improvements and possible remedial work to the heating and fabric.
Location is a key strength. Leagrave station and local buses are within walking distance with services to London in under 40 minutes, and nearby schools rated Good or Outstanding suit family buyers. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working, while resident permit parking and on-street options add day-to-day convenience.
Be candid: the immediate area is classified as deprived and local crime levels are high. That affects resale and rental premiums and should be weighed against the house’s value-add potential. For the right buyer, this property presents clear scope to increase value through refurbishment, insulation, and modernisation, subject to survey and planning where relevant.
