A Victorian two-bedroom end-of-terrace with clear upside for an investor or DIY buyer. The property is freehold, offers an 8% yield at the asking price and sits in a busy, well-connected part of Loughborough with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The house has a conventional layout: bright front living room, separate dining room, kitchen opening to a private rear garden and two first-floor bedrooms with a rear bathroom. The garage provides off-street parking — a useful rarity on the street. The solid brick walls date from before 1900 and the glazing was replaced post-2002.
The home needs modernisation throughout: unfinished surfaces, dated kitchen and bathroom, and assumed uninsulated solid walls. These are straightforward renovation items that will materially increase comfort and value but will require time and budget to complete.
Practical positives include low Council Tax (Band A), mains gas central heating and a compact plot that keeps maintenance manageable. Note the area records above-average crime and the local neighbourhood has a high proportion of private renters and student arrivals, which suits investors but may not suit buyers seeking a quiet suburb.
