Summary - Saxon Street, Leicester, Leicestershire LE3 0BL
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable refurbishment opportunity near university and hospital.
Chain-free Victorian terraced house, two double bedrooms
This chain-free Victorian terraced house offers a practical city-centre base for a first-time buyer or investor. Set within walking distance of De Montfort University, Leicester Royal Infirmary and local shopping, the home has solid period character and clear potential once renovated.
The ground floor has a dining room with an original fireplace, a separate lounge and a galley kitchen opening to a small, low-maintenance rear garden and useful utility room. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with built-in storage in the second room and a bathroom on the top floor. The property totals about 715 sq ft and retains sash windows and other period details.
Important considerations: the house needs renovation and cosmetic updating throughout, and the immediate area has high crime levels and significant deprivation. Parking is on-street with a residents’ permit. Council Tax is low (Band A), and there is no flood risk.
For an investor this offers straightforward rental potential in a private-renting neighbourhood close to student and city-centre demand. For a first-time buyer it’s an affordable entry point with scope to add value, but be prepared for refurbishment costs and to factor local safety and amenity issues into your plans.
