This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Adcock Road offers an affordable entry into Leicester’s market with scope to add value. Set on a notably large corner plot, the property is freehold and sold with no onward chain — useful for buyers wanting a quicker move. Rooms are of practical, average size and the layout includes two reception rooms plus a separate kitchen.
The home has some useful existing features: mains gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and two brick stores in the rear garden. There is clear potential to extend to the side (subject to usual planning consent) which could significantly increase living space and future resale value. The low Council Tax band A reduces running costs.
Important drawbacks are honest and material: the house needs modernisation throughout, with dated finishes and fittings; the overall internal size is small (approximately 626 sq ft) and there is just one bathroom plus a separate WC. The local area scores as very deprived with above-average crime rates, and neighbourhood amenities and school standards are mixed — factors buyers should compare against priorities and budgets.
This property suits a practical first-time buyer or small family prepared to carry out refurbishment, or an investor seeking a renovation project in a city location. If you want to create greater space and equity, the corner plot and potential side extension are the primary selling points.
