Set on West Street in Syston, this three-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable entry to the local market or a straightforward rental opportunity. The house has two reception rooms, a galley kitchen and a downstairs bathroom, arranged over a traditional Victorian layout that suits first-time buyers or small families seeking a compact, practical home. Chain-free freehold status simplifies purchase timing.
The property has a small, low-maintenance rear garden and benefits from good transport links — a short walk to Syston station and easy access to the A46 and M1 — plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Nearby primary and secondary schools mostly rated Good add to the appeal for families or buy-to-let investors targeting local renters.
There are some clear, factual downsides to budget for: the house dates from before 1900 with solid brick walls assumed to lack insulation, double glazing installed before 2002, and an older gas boiler and radiator system. Energy efficiency and comfort could be improved with targeted upgrades. The area records above-average crime and the property sits within a medium flood risk zone, which may affect insurance costs and suitability for some buyers.
Overall this is a compact, well-located Victorian terrace with scope to add value through modernization and insulation works. It will suit first-time buyers wanting an affordable home in a connected town or investors looking for a manageable rental with good local demand.
