Summary - 45 PORTCULLIS ROAD LEICESTER LE5 1SF
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious three-bed semi with driveway, garden and clear renovation potential.
Three bedrooms and two reception rooms, practical family layout
A three-bedroom semi-detached home offering practical space and clear scope for improvement. The property includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, lean-to and utility room, plus a private rear garden — useful for families or buyers seeking added outdoor space.
The wide driveway provides off-road parking for two to three cars and the house is freehold with a total size around 1,129 sq ft. Nearby schools have Good Ofsted ratings and local broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting family life or rental occupancy.
The house is a straightforward renovation project: décor and fittings are dated, the EPC is D and there is just one bathroom. The wider area shows high deprivation indicators, which may affect long-term capital growth but supports rental demand for nearby social-renting families. This property suits a first-time buyer wanting to add value or an investor seeking an affordable, rentable three-bed in a city suburb.
Viewings should note the need for updating throughout and the single bathroom layout. Structurally the home presents as a typical post-war semi with standard ceiling heights and medium room sizes — a blank canvas for improvement rather than a turnkey move-in.
