Summary - 7 SHAFTESBURY ROAD LEICESTER LE3 0QN
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Two-double-bed terrace with garden and strong rental potential in Westcotes.
- Potential rent around £1,170 PCM
Located on Shaftesbury Road in Westcotes, this two-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian property offers straightforward rental appeal in a student and professional neighbourhood. Close to Narborough Road amenities and well-connected to the city centre, the house suits investor buyers seeking steady demand and immediate letting potential.
Internally the property provides two double bedrooms, a reception room, and a practical kitchen and bathroom layout across approximately 797 sq ft. The building retains period bay-window character, benefits from double glazing and an EPC rating of C, and is sold freehold with a private rear garden — features that support a competitive rental return.
Estimated achievable rent is around £1,170 PCM, making the yield attractive at the asking price. Practical considerations: the terrace is solid-brick construction with no known cavity insulation, so improvement works (insulation and potential modernisation) could reduce running costs and increase capital value. On-street parking is available but there is no off-street parking.
Location positives include excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, nearby primary and secondary schools (several rated Good or Outstanding), and a dense mix of amenities. Buyers should note the local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation levels; this is reflected in pricing and rental expectations. The property is a clear investment opportunity for buyers prepared to manage minor upgrades and tenant selection carefully.
