Summary - 93 WOOD STREET EARL SHILTON LEICESTER LE9 7NE
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Corner plot with off-street parking and low running costs.
End-terrace Victorian character with decorative fireplace
This spacious two-bedroom end-terrace sits on a corner plot and suits buyers seeking an affordable first home or a straightforward rental investment. The house feels larger than many terraces thanks to two reception rooms, a practical kitchen and a bath-plus-separate-shower bathroom. Recent practical updates include double glazing throughout and a combi boiler fitted about two years ago.
Externally the property offers an enclosed rear garden, sizeable outdoor store and off-street parking for multiple vehicles — a rare convenience for a terraced home. The freehold tenure, low council tax (Band A) and fast local broadband add to the running-cost advantages.
There are some genuine considerations to note. The building is solid-brick Victorian construction and is assumed to lack wall insulation, so heating costs could be higher than modern-walled homes. The immediate area scores as more deprived with above-average local crime levels; buyers should factor this into suitability and insurance costs. The plot and garden are small, so outdoor space is modest rather than expansive.
Overall this property represents a practical, well-presented entry-level purchase with clear potential to personalise and add value through targeted refurbishment (insulation and interior modernising). It’s best suited to first-time buyers wanting move-in ready basics with scope to improve, or to investors looking for a lettable, centrally located terrace with parking — an uncommon feature at this price point.
