Summary - 45 PORTCULLIS ROAD LEICESTER LE5 1SF
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable starter home with drive and private garden near good schools.
Freehold three-bedroom semi-detached house
A compact three-bedroom semi-detached home on Portcullis Road offering off-street parking for two to three cars and a private rear garden with outbuildings. The ground floor provides a lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, utility area and a long lean-to that opens onto the garden — useful for storage or a home workshop. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom; loft access is provided via ladder with partial boarding and lighting.
This property suits first-time buyers or investors looking for an affordable entry into LE5. Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing and a powered garden shed. Nearby schools (several rated Good) and local amenities make the location convenient for families.
Be clear about the work and context: the house is a post‑war, system-built property with internal insulation and double glazing installed before 2002. The overall internal area is small (approx. 402 sq ft), so living spaces are compact. The wider area is classified as very deprived with local hampered neighbourhood characteristics — buyers should consider long-term resale and rental prospects in that context.
EPC D and the property’s age suggest potential energy and maintenance upgrades. There is scope to improve value with targeted refurbishment, but buyers should budget for updating and confirm specific repair needs in a survey before purchase.
