This two-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian house offers a compact, well-located home or rental in Clarendon Park, under a 15-minute walk to the city. The property is freehold, chain-free and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a small rear courtyard garden. Its footprint (approx. 808 sq ft) suits a couple, small family or landlord targeting students and professionals.
The interior is dated and will require refurbishment — the kitchen and finishes show mid-20th-century fittings and visible wear. Room sizes are small-to-average, so expect modest living and limited built-in storage. Energy performance is mid-range (EPC D) and the solid brick walls likely have no added cavity insulation.
Sale is by Modern Auction with an undisclosed reserve. Buyers must allow completion within 56 days, sign a reservation agreement and pay a non‑refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600 including VAT) plus a pack fee (up to £349 inc. VAT). These fees are payable in addition to the purchase price and will affect total purchase costs; prospective buyers should complete full due diligence and confirm exact costs before bidding.
The house sits in a cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood with strong local amenities, good schools nearby and excellent transport links to Leicester station and university. For a buyer willing to update the property, there is clear potential to improve rental return or create a comfortable starter home.
