Summary - 57 HELENA CRESCENT LEICESTER LE4 2HB
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Compact, low-cost starter home near shops and transport links.
Chain free two-bedroom semi-detached home
A chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached home in LE4, well suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward purchase. The property offers sensible living space across an average-sized footprint, a private rear garden with lawn and patio, and potential to create off-street parking at the front.
Practical modern updates include a combi boiler installed two years ago and double glazing (installation date unknown). Ground-floor layout has a large living room and kitchen-diner; upstairs provides two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower over bath. Low council tax (Band A) helps keep running costs down.
Important considerations: the immediate area records high crime and is classed as very deprived, which will influence resale and lettings. The plot is small and the house dates from the post‑war period (1950–1966), so cosmetic updating or incremental refurbishment may be needed to suit modern tastes. There is no flooding risk recorded and the property is freehold.
Location benefits include good bus links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus proximity to local shops, Beaumont Leys Shopping Centre, Glenfield Hospital and several primary and secondary schools (mixed Ofsted outcomes). For buyers prioritising value and easy entry to the market, this home presents a practical, low-cost base with clear potential to add value over time.
