Extended three-bedroom Victorian end-terrace with bay window
This extended Victorian end-terrace offers practical living across three bedrooms and two reception rooms — a strong fit for first-time buyers seeking space close to the city. The layout includes a larger-than-typical galley kitchen with separate utility area, a ground-floor bathroom and a convenient first-floor WC. An added warehouse/extension at the rear provides useful storage or redevelopment potential.
Located in Belgrave within walking distance of Belgrave Road’s shops, eateries and services, the house is well placed for commuting to Leicester city centre and for access to local schools and health facilities. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the home suitable for home-working and modern connectivity needs.
Buyers should note a number of practical drawbacks: the property sits on a small plot with largely on-street parking, the former courtyard has been partly built over, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated which could mean higher heating needs. There is some dated decoration and signs of wear inside (paint peeling in places) so a modest programme of redecoration or upgrading is likely. The property sits in a medium flood-risk area and is in a generally deprived ward — these factors may affect insurance and future resale considerations.
Overall this freehold Victorian terrace presents a value-driven opportunity to secure a roomy first home in a well-connected, amenity-rich area. It’s particularly suitable for buyers prepared to carry out cosmetic updating or modest improvements to improve comfort and energy performance.
