Description

This two-bedroom, 19th-century end-of-row cottage is set in the centre of Glenfield, within reach of village shops, pubs and public transport. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a lounge with exposed ceiling beams and a brick fireplace, and a kitchen with fitted units and space for a cooker and washing machine. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath, basin and WC, together with additional storage. The property has gas central heating and uPVC double glazing, and is offered with no upward chain. Outside, there is an enclosed front forecourt and a rear garden with paved areas, lawn, established planting and a timber shed. The listing notes that neighbouring properties have access across the rear garden. The cottage offers scope for improvement while retaining its period features. Glenfield has local shops and services, bus links to Leicester and access to the M1, A46 and A50.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £165,000, this characterful 19th-century cottage in the heart of Glenfield has a clear medium-scale improvement project: the interiors are dated, while the exposed beams and brick fireplace give the lounge a strong starting point. The visible exterior appears broadly intact, and the village setting, transport links and no-upward-chain sale add appeal.

The floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot be judged yet. The score is a weak 51/100 overall, with that value comparison and the project economics still difficult to assess from the available information; the overgrown parts of the rear garden are another area to reclaim.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated finishes and flooring to bring the cottage’s exposed beams and brick fireplace into focus.
  • Update the dated kitchen and bathroom as part of a coordinated interior improvement.
  • Clear the overgrown parts of the rear garden to make more of its lawn, established planting and outdoor space.
