A compact Victorian mid-terrace offering practical two-bedroom accommodation in Knighton Fields, sold chain free and ready for immediate occupation or letting. The house retains period character with high ceilings, an Edwardian-style fireplace and a stone-fronted bay that give genuine street appeal. Its footprint is modest—approximately 743 sq ft—making it especially suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a manageable, city-centre home with good local links.
The layout provides two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and a family bathroom, plus a small rear garden. The property is double glazed and heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators. Council Tax is low (Band A) and broadband and mobile signals are strong—practical advantages for working from home or letting. EPC rating D and solid-brick walls (likely uninsulated) mean there is scope to improve energy efficiency, which could reduce bills and add value.
Notable negatives are candidly present: the terrace sits in an area with higher crime and relative deprivation, the garden and plot are small, and room sizes are modest. The house would benefit from modernising the kitchen and bathroom and adding wall insulation where possible. There is no obvious off-street parking, and the layout of two separate reception rooms limits open-plan living without alteration.
Overall this mid-terrace represents an affordable, low-running-cost freehold opportunity close to schools, hospitals, the University of Leicester and local shopping parades. It suits buyers wanting a manageable, characterful starter home or investors looking for a straightforward let needing modest updating.
