A chain-free Victorian mid-terrace in LE2, this two-double-bedroom home sits within easy walking distance of Leicester city centre, the university and the Royal Infirmary. The house offers a large open-plan living and dining area, a galley kitchen, good-sized rear yard and period red-brick exterior — a solid freehold with scope to modernise.
The property needs general renovation throughout, so it will suit a first-time buyer seeking value or an investor comfortable with refurbishment. It already benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, but walls are likely uninsulated and finishes require updating. The layout of two double bedrooms and a sizable family bathroom provides flexible accommodation across approximately 900 sq ft.
Buyers should note material negatives: the area has above-average crime, very high flood risk and sits in a very deprived ward, which may affect insurance and resale. The plot is small and maintenance or upgrade work will be required to bring the property to contemporary standards. Council tax and running costs are low, and the freehold tenure removes ground rent or lease concerns.
With the right investment this terraced house delivers strong rental potential and a practical, city-centre base for owners who value proximity to amenities and transport links. Viewings recommended for buyers comfortable managing renovation in an urban, high-demand location.
