A chain-free, freehold two-bedroom end-of-terrace set on a small corner plot in Eyres Monsell, offering an affordable entry to homeownership. The ground floor has a generous lounge/diner and a practical kitchen with rear lobby and storage; upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and regular buses to the city centre make daily life convenient.
The property dates from the 1950s–60s and will suit a buyer happy to update: external pebble-dash requires cosmetic work, the front and rear gardens need landscaping, and the walls are system-built with assumed limited insulation. Heating is gas boiler and radiators and windows are double glazed, though installation dates are unknown — buyers should check services and insulation before committing.
This house is well placed for local primary schools and parks, and carries low council tax, which helps running costs. The neighbourhood shows signs of economic hardship and local crime levels are higher than average; plan viewings and surveys accordingly. For a first-time buyer or investor willing to carry out sensible improvements, this property offers clear potential and immediate possession without an onward chain.
Practical considerations: confirm measurements, appliance condition and legal title through your solicitor; budget for external repairs, possible insulation upgrades and cosmetic refurbishment to maximise value.
