This two-bedroom semi-detached house on Leechmere Road offers straightforward, chain-free purchase and practical family living across two floors.

The property suits a buyer seeking an affordable starter home or a buy-to-let investment. It benefits from mains gas central heating (combi boiler), double glazing and easy access to the city centre and A19, with a range of local schools and amenities close by.

Cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements are likely to be needed to modernise heating, insulation and finishes. The surrounding area is classed as deprived with higher local crime levels, so buyers should weigh neighbourhood factors alongside the property’s practical advantages.
