Substantial Period Villa in Prime Central Loughborough Location – Exceptional Development Opportunity

Occupying a sought-after position on one of Loughborough town centre's most popular residential streets, this substantial four-bedroom mid villa-style terraced property presents a rare opportunity to acquire an impressive period home with significant scope for enhancement and value creation.

Believed to date from 1897, the property retains a wealth of original character features synonymous with its era, including original fireplaces, decorative cornicing, ceiling roses and impressive high ceilings, all combining to provide an excellent foundation for an exceptional restoration project.

Requiring a comprehensive programme of refurbishment throughout, the accommodation is generously proportioned and briefly comprises an entrance hall, spacious lounge, separate dining room, kitchen and useful utility area with access to the rear garden. To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms together with a family bathroom and separate WC . Externally, their is a front courtyard and an substantial rear garden.

The property will particularly appeal to developers, investors and experienced renovators seeking a project with considerable potential. Subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, there may be scope to extend the existing accommodation or explore conversion into flats, offering further development opportunities. Supported by comparable evidence, it is considered that, following a high-quality refurbishment, the property has the potential to achieve a value in excess of £350,000, subject to prevailing market conditions.

Ideally situated within walking distance of Loughborough town centre, the property has easy access to an excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants, schools, leisure facilities and transport links, further enhancing its appeal as both a redevelopment project and a future family home.
