- Victorian mid-terrace with three bedrooms
- Chain-free sale; freehold tenure
- Separate lounge, dining room and kitchen layout
- Two-bay cellar offering storage or conversion potential
- Gas central heating and double glazing already installed
- Dated interior; visible repair and redecoration needed
- No wall insulation assumed; potential thermal upgrade costs
- Above-average crime area and medium flood risk
A traditional Victorian mid-terrace in a convenient Leicester location, offered chain-free and with good scope for improvement. The house provides three bedrooms, separate lounge and dining rooms, kitchen, shower room and two-bay cellar — a solid layout for a growing household or rental conversion. Gas central heating and double glazing are already fitted, reducing immediate major spend.
The property sits a short drive from Leicester city centre, the main railway station and De Montfort University, making it suitable for first-time buyers seeking transport links or buy-to-let investors targeting student demand. The rear garden is small and low-maintenance; street parking is available outside.
Important considerations: the interior shows dated decor and areas in need of repair and updating, particularly in the living room and general finishes. The building is of solid brick construction with assumed no wall insulation and was built before 1900 — improving thermal performance may be needed. The location records above-average crime and the area is classified as deprived, and the property sits in a medium flood risk zone.
Overall, this freehold terraced house represents a relatively inexpensive entry into central Leicester with clear potential to add value through sensible refurbishment. It will suit buyers comfortable with DIY or those seeking a renovation/investment opportunity who prioritise transport links and rental demand over turnkey condition.
