Well-presented two-bedroom terraced home ideal for first-time buyers, no chain.
Freehold mid‑terrace with front and rear gardens
This nicely presented mid‑century mid‑terrace offers a practical first home in LE3, set within easy reach of Leicester city centre, Glenfield Hospital and the Western Bypass. The house is freehold, double glazed, gas‑heated with a lounge and a dining kitchen, plus front and rear gardens — all ready for immediate occupation with no onward chain.
The property currently has two double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. The larger bedroom has clear potential to be reconfigured into two rooms to create a three‑bed layout, subject to planning and structural considerations. Overall size is average at around 776 sq ft, with a decent plot and straightforward room flow suitable for a couple or first‑time buyers.
Practical positives include modern double glazing (fitted since 2002), mains gas boiler and radiators, and a very low council tax band. Local amenities are close by — shops, bus stops and leisure facilities — and several well‑rated secondary schools nearby, although primary school ratings in the immediate area are mixed.
Material considerations: the wider area is classified as deprived and recorded crime levels are above average, so buyers should factor local safety and resale context into their plans. The house dates from the 1930s, so routine maintenance and checks (roof, services and potential damp areas) are recommended before purchase. Viewing is strongly advised to assess condition and conversion potential for a third bedroom.
