Chain-free starter home near university and shopping.
Freehold mid-terrace with no upper chain
A traditional late‑Victorian mid-terrace offered freehold and chain-free, suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The house retains period features such as bay windows and fireplaces across two reception rooms, and benefits from a separate utility area and small courtyard garden. Its compact layout and modest room sizes make it straightforward to manage or update.
Significant positives include the chain-free sale, mains gas central heating, double glazing and a convenient West End location close to De Montfort University, Fosse Park and good public transport links. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low, and the property’s layout is ready for modest renovation or cosmetic updating to increase rental or resale value.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the EPC rating is E and the external walls are likely uninsulated solid brick, which may mean higher energy costs unless improved. The area has very high crime levels and is in a deprived ward, which will affect desirability for some purchasers and lettings. The plot and garden are small and the house will suit buyers comfortable with compact outdoor space.
The property is presented with no confirmed guarantees for services or recent works; prospective purchasers are advised to arrange inspections and any specialist reports. Overall this is a practical, affordable Victorian terrace with clear potential for value gain through energy upgrades and sympathetic modernisation.
