Located in a higher-crime, deprived area — impacts growth and rental demand
This Victorian mid-terrace combines traditional character with practical, ready-to-live-in spaces. Two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a sizable first-floor bathroom suit first-time buyers, downsizers or landlords seeking rental potential in Wigston. The fitted kitchen and well-presented reception rooms mean minimal immediate work is required.
Practical running costs are a plus: gas central heating with a Hive controller, double glazing and a very low Council Tax Band A help keep bills down. Outside, a small private rear garden, greenhouse and two outbuildings provide useful storage and low-maintenance outdoor space. On-street parking and easy walking access to shops, schools and public transport add everyday convenience.
Buyers should note the setting and some building limitations. The property sits in a hampered, higher-crime neighbourhood and the wider area shows signs of deprivation, which may affect long-term capital growth and rental demand. The house is solid-brick as built and likely lacks through-wall insulation; upgrading insulation would improve comfort and energy performance (EPC D). Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed.
Overall this mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into the market with clear upside from sensible improvements (insulation, EPC works, cosmetic updates). It’s best suited to those prioritising location, low immediate expenditure, and potential to add value over time.
