A compact, well-presented mid-Victorian terrace arranged over three floors, this two-bedroom freehold in LS4 offers easy access to Leeds city centre and nearby universities. The layout works well for a first-time buyer wanting a starter home or an investor seeking a straightforward buy-to-let with good local rental demand from students and professionals. The cellar provides useful storage and houses the combi boiler.
Internally the house is generally serviceable but would benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise value — expect decorating, kitchen refresh and possible bathroom modernisation. The property has double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators, but the original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so insulating improvements could cut running costs and improve comfort.
Practical points to weigh: the property sits on a small plot with a paved front courtyard and on-street parking only. Flooding risk is medium and the area records very high crime rates and higher deprivation indicators; buyers should satisfy themselves on insurance and personal safety measures. EPC rating D and council tax band A (very cheap) are factual positives, but energy improvements may be needed to reduce bills.
Overall this terraced house is a compact, affordable option close to amenities, transport and universities. It suits a first-time buyer prepared to personalise and improve the home, or an investor targeting steady rental demand — provided the locality considerations and refurbishment costs are accepted.
