This mid-terrace Victorian house offers straightforward, chain-free buying in a well-connected Leicester neighbourhood. The layout provides two genuine double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a practical kitchen, comfortable for first-time owners or couples looking to step on the ladder. A small, low-maintenance courtyard and brick stores add useful outdoor storage without upkeep headaches.
Practical running costs are a strength: gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and a council tax band A help keep bills down. The property is freehold, has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and sits in a low-crime area close to local amenities, shops and community facilities.
There are some clear improvement opportunities: the solid brick walls are understood to have no insulation and the EPC is a D, so buyers should budget for thermal upgrades if desired. The house is in a generally deprived area, which can affect resale values; investors should factor local rental demand and yield calculations into offers. Overall, this is a compact, well-located home with good immediate usability and scope to add value with relatively simple improvements.
