Summary - 16 BARKBY ROAD SYSTON LEICESTER LE7 2AF
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable two-bed terrace with cellar, outbuildings and low-maintenance garden.
Two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes
This two-bedroom mid-terrace offers practical space and genuine value in Syston town centre. Two double bedrooms both have fitted wardrobes, and the newly fitted boiler (2025) reduces near-term heating costs. The house includes two reception rooms, a useful cellar for storage, and two outbuildings — one with a WC — giving convenient extras many similar homes lack.
The rear garden is designed for low maintenance with a patio and pebbled area, ideal for easy upkeep or simple landscaping. At about 815 sq ft across multiple storeys, the layout suits a first-time buyer or small family seeking an affordable entry into a comfortable neighbourhood with quick access to shops, schools and public transport.
Material issues are clear and noted: the property needs modernisation throughout and shows period/older features that require updating. The local area records higher crime and has signs of deprivation, which buyers should weigh against the house’s affordability and proximity to amenities. Walls are solid brick with no known insulation, so buyers may want to budget for thermal improvements.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, very low council tax, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — all helpful for working from home or renting. For purchasers willing to invest modestly in updating, this house offers immediate utility and potential to increase value in a well-connected town location.
