A chain-free, freehold Victorian terraced house in Stoneygate offering straightforward entry to the market. The layout includes a sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen, downstairs bathroom with separate WC, plus three modest bedrooms — a practical home for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Rooms are compact and largely original or dated in style, presenting clear scope for cosmetic refurbishment to add value. The property benefits from gas central heating and uPVC double glazing, reducing immediate major costs. Outside space is limited to a small, narrow slabbed rear yard.
Location is a key positive: shops, schools and places of worship are within easy walking distance, with good access to Leicester city centre and local green spaces. Council tax sits at a low Band A rate, which helps running costs. Note the wider area has above-average crime rates and pockets of deprivation, which may influence resale and rental prospects.
Practical points: broadband speeds are reported as slow in the data provided, and room sizes are small — buyers should expect some updating and limited outdoor space. For someone seeking an affordable first home or a straightforward rental, this is a low-entry property with potential from modest improvements.
