Summary - 62 WILBERFORCE ROAD LEICESTER LE3 0GU
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful Victorian terrace close to Leicester city centre, offered chain-free and ready to personalise.
Two double bedrooms with period features and high ceilings
A well-presented Victorian mid-terrace with two double bedrooms and many original features, ideal for a first-time purchase. The house sits 0.75 miles from Leicester city centre and Narborough Road’s shops and transport links, offering convenience for commuting and local amenities. The layout includes a reception room, separate lounge, modern kitchen, and a contemporary four-piece family bathroom. A low-maintenance paved courtyard and useful outbuilding with WC add practical outdoor storage.
The property is offered freehold and chain-free, which simplifies moving for buyers buying their first home. Character details such as high ceilings, original floorboards and cast-iron fireplaces give the house period charm that’s rare at this price point. At around 820 sq ft the rooms feel well-proportioned for a starter home, and mains gas central heating with double glazing provides everyday comfort.
Be upfront about practical considerations: the terrace was originally built with solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation) and may benefit from added insulation to improve comfort and running costs. Parking is on-street only; there is no driveway. The surrounding area has high local crime statistics and is classed as deprived, so buyers should factor neighbourhood safety and resale expectations into their plans.
For first-time buyers looking for an affordable, characterful base close to the city, this property presents immediate move-in potential and scope to add value through energy improvements and cosmetic updates. Investors may also find the location and rental demand attractive, though they should weigh neighbourhood metrics against yield expectations.
