House For Sale £265,000
Occupying a prime position in a popular residential area of Market Harborough opposite a green, is this two bedroom Victorian semi detached house of character which has been sympathetically modernised whilst retaining a wealth of original period features.
Whilst the attractive timber main entrance door provides direct access to the accommodation via the front yard space and steps, the current vendors have created a really natural feeling to enter via the rear along a side passageway and through gated access, via a UPVC double glazed back door.

What Our Seller Says…
"What I love about this house is its wonderfully peaceful location. Being situated on such a beautiful park offers additional outdoor space on your doorstep and I love that feeling of not being hemmed in. Working from home I get to sit and watch the world go by across the park from my desk and at lunchtime I often go and sit in the park with my dog and enjoy the sunshine. It is also just a 5 minute walk into town and 15 minutes to the train station so I have really been able to enjoy leaving my car behind."
