A well-presented two-bedroom mid-terrace offering an accessible entry point to the Leeds market. Recently updated throughout, the home combines Victorian character with modern finishes: a bright living room, fitted kitchen and a good-sized cellar for storage or potential conversion (subject to permissions). Gas central heating and double glazing contribute to year-round comfort; internal wall insulation has been fitted to the lounge and master bedroom to improve efficiency.
Located in LS11 close to major road links and a range of local amenities, the property will particularly suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance, freehold purchase. Nearby schools include two Outstanding/Good-rated primaries and an Outstanding secondary, and the area benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the neighbourhood records high crime rates and the wider area is classed as deprived, which can affect long-term resale and tenant demand. The plot is very small with no private garden space, and the building dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls that originally had no external insulation (some internal insulation added in two rooms). Double glazing was installed before 2002, so windows may not meet the latest standards.
Overall this freehold terraced house is a pragmatic, affordable option for first-time purchasers wanting a ready-to-live-in home with some future improvement potential, or for investors targeting rental demand close to transport links and local schools. Viewings are recommended to assess the fit for your needs and to inspect the cellar and internal finishes in person.
