This Victorian mid-terrace on Haddon Street is a practical three-bedroom home offering flexible living across two reception rooms and a long galley kitchen. The house benefits from double glazing, gas central heating with a combi boiler, and a low-maintenance rear garden — useful for first-time buyers or investors seeking a ready-to-move-in base with scope to improve.
Interior space is compact (approximately 710 sq ft) but well laid out: two reception rooms, three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. A substantial ground-floor store room off the kitchen presents clear potential to become a downstairs bathroom or utility, adding modern convenience and rental appeal. The property is freehold and priced at £225,000, positioned within walking distance of Leicester city centre, public transport, shops, parks and several well-regarded schools.
Location is a key selling point: close to Sparkenhoe, Medway and Moat Community College, nearby universities, and local amenities including places of worship and community facilities. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, which supports home working or student tenants. The house will suit first-time buyers wanting an affordable city home, small families prioritising school access, or investors targeting strong rental demand.
Important drawbacks are straightforward: the overall footprint and plot are small, some rooms and decor are dated and will need modernisation, and the surrounding area shows signs of deprivation with above-average crime levels. Buyers should factor potential improvement costs and consider location suitability carefully before proceeding.
