Summary - 31, Sawley Street LE5 5JR
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter home close to shops, schools and transport links.
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace with traditional brick facade
Step into a compact two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offering straightforward, low-maintenance living in Leicester LE5. The ground floor offers a bright front lounge, separate dining room and a kitchen with direct access to a small rear yard, while two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the layout. The home is freehold, double glazed and heated by a mains gas boiler — practical basics already in place.
This property suits first-time buyers looking for an affordable starter home or investors seeking a rental in an established urban area. Nearby shops, schools and public transport links provide convenience; broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the house practical for modern everyday life.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the house sits in an area classed as deprived with higher-than-average local crime rates, and the solid-brick Victorian walls are likely uninsulated. The plot is small and parking is on-street only. Cosmetic updating and potential insulation improvements would add value and comfort.
Priced to reflect its size and condition, this terrace offers realistic potential for a buyer prepared to modernise modestly. For a first-time purchaser wanting an entry into the market or an investor after reliable rental demand, this property is a pragmatic, affordable option.
