A practical three-bedroom end-terrace on Belvoir Drive, built in the 1930s, offering a sensible layout across roughly 962 sq ft. The house sits on a decent plot with a private garden and off-street parking — useful for first-time buyers seeking outdoor space and parking in the city.
Internally the home is straightforward: three bedrooms, one bathroom and a comfortable living room. Heating is via electric storage heaters and glazing is double glazed (install date unknown). The property’s solid brick walls are as-built with no known insulation, so there is clear scope to improve energy performance and running costs through insulation or heating upgrades.
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low council tax and several nearby primary and secondary schools with Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings. Local amenities are within easy reach, including shops, takeaways, leisure facilities and sports provision.
Important considerations: the area is classed as very deprived with above-average local crime statistics and “hampered neighbourhoods” classification, so buyers should factor neighbourhood context into their decision. The house will benefit from improvement work to modernise heating, insulation and possibly the bathroom to bring it up to contemporary standards.
