Well-Located 2-Bedroom Terrace in Highfields, Leicester

Property Oracle says ..

This two-bedroom terraced house in Skipworth Street, Leicester, presents a mixed bag. The location within Stoneygate offers some advantages, with relatively easy access to Leicester city centre and several schools. The proximity to Medway Community Primary School, which has a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating, is a definite plus for families. The train station is also within reasonable distance.

However, the property’s condition requires attention. While the bathroom appears to have been recently updated, other areas, particularly the kitchen, show signs of wear and tear. A potential buyer should budget for some modernisation and cosmetic improvements. The small, essentially non-existent, backyard is a significant drawback.

The list price of £160,000 needs to be considered in the context of comparable properties in the area. The average prices on nearby streets vary significantly, with some considerably higher and some considerably lower than the listing price. The lower prices on Skipworth Street itself suggest the property may be priced at the higher end for that specific street. Overall, it’s a property that could be a good investment for someone willing to undertake some renovations, but the lack of outdoor space and the need for improvements should be carefully considered.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
