Summary - 88 HADDENHAM ROAD LEICESTER LE3 2BG
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Practical, affordable city home with low running costs and upgrade potential.
Freehold mid-terrace Victorian townhouse, three bedrooms
This three-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian townhouse offers a practical, well-presented home in LE3, ideal for first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into the market. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted galley kitchen and a ground-floor bathroom, providing comfortable living space over two storeys. The property is freehold and sold with no onward chain, enabling a straightforward purchase.
Two double reception rooms and three good-size bedrooms create flexible space for living and working from home. The house benefits from gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and a modest, low-maintenance rear yard that suits city living. The interior is functional with neutral decor and clean floor coverings, so minimal cosmetic updating is needed for immediate occupation.
Practical considerations: the solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated (typical of the era) and the current EPC is D — improvements could reduce bills and add value. The plot is small with limited external amenity space, and the wider area scores as deprived with average crime levels, though local schools and transport links are close by. Council tax band A keeps running costs low.
Overall this terrace presents a sensible buy for a first-time purchaser wanting a move-in-ready home with potential to increase value through modest energy and cosmetic upgrades. It is also suitable for buy-to-let investors seeking a compact, rentable property in a well-connected Leicester neighbourhood.
