This two-bedroom, mid-terrace home in Aylestone offers period character and straightforward space across approximately 888 sq ft. High ceilings, bay windows and traditional brickwork give the house immediate kerb appeal, while a rear courtyard garden provides low-maintenance outdoor space.
The property requires renovation throughout: cosmetic updating, likely insulation upgrades to solid brick walls, and clarity on glazing dates. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators. These works present clear scope to add value for a buyer able to manage improvements.
The house is offered through a Modern Method of Auction. Bidders should note a buyer reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) and a 56-day completion requirement. Tenure is unknown and should be checked before bidding.
Local amenities are strong for first-time buyers: good primary and secondary schools nearby, frequent bus routes and quick access to the city centre and motorways. Broadband and mobile signals are good, supporting home working or renting out after refurbishment. Do note the area records above-average crime and higher local deprivation, which should be considered alongside the price and investment potential.
