Low-cost freehold starter home with parking and garden, ideal for renovators or investors..
Freehold two-bedroom end-of-terrace, 616 sq ft
A practical two-bedroom end-of-terrace on Scotswood Crescent, offered freehold and suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry Leicester home. The layout is traditional with a porch, central hallway, bright dual-aspect lounge and a simple fitted kitchen with garden access. Two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a single bathroom sit upstairs. Off-street parking and a small, private low-maintenance rear garden add useful outdoor space.
The house requires modernisation throughout, making it a clear refurbishment opportunity to add value. Structural or flooding risk is not reported, but expect cosmetic updates to fixtures, finishes and services. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which supports modern working-from-home needs. Council tax costs are described as very cheap, a running-cost advantage for budget-conscious buyers.
Location strengths include close walking distance to several ‘Good’ rated primary and secondary schools, nearby shops, pharmacy, and leisure amenities. Transport links are convenient for the city, but be aware the immediate neighbourhood is described as very deprived with high recorded crime — buyers should factor safety and community investment into their decision.
This property will suit someone comfortable with a renovation project who values affordability and practical parking. Investors can expect straightforward tenant demand given local rental market drivers; owner-occupiers can create a comfortable home with targeted updates to kitchens, bathrooms and finishes.
