Victorian mid-terrace with original features and open fire
This two-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian home blends original period character with practical living space, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking charm and scope to add value. The lounge features a traditional open fire and the adjoining dining room leads directly to a well-proportioned rear garden — a rare outdoor asset for this style of terrace. The kitchen is compact but functional, and the first floor hosts two spacious bedrooms plus a family bathroom.
Practical points: the house has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, an E energy rating and conventional gas boiler and radiators. These factors mean there is scope for energy-efficiency improvements and updating. The property sits in a small plot with a modest front forecourt and a larger rear garden; overall floor area is modest at around 862 sq ft.
Location is convenient for commuting and local amenities, with frequent buses into Leicester, nearby South Wigston station and several primary and secondary schools within easy reach. The neighbourhood is mixed: there are good local services and green spaces, but statistics show higher crime levels and area deprivation, which should be considered by buyers planning long-term residence or rental.
For a buyer prepared to carry out cosmetic updating and some energy upgrades, this house offers strong potential — comfortable living now and scope to increase comfort and value over time. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the original features and garden space in person.
