Description

This traditional end of chain two bedroom Victorian terrace offers an exciting opportunity for first time buyers stepping onto the property ladder or a valuable addition to a buy to let portfolio. Retaining an abundance of original features with traditional wood floors throughout and big windows that allow the light to flood in, there are two reception rooms and the fitted kitchen downstairs, with two double bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Outside at the rear is ample storage space and a good-sized garden. The property is approached via a paved pathway and a step up to the part-glazed front door, with glazed window above, with a small front garden bordered by a low wall. Upon entering the porch, handy for boots and coats, a further door opens into the bright living room, which features a painted wood floor, a deep bay window overlooking the front, a built-in cupboard with louvre doors in one alcove and an attractive electric coal-effect fireplace with surround. A door leads into an inner hall, where you will find storage space beneath the stairs. From there is access to the well-proportioned dining room, which looks out over the rear garden. On one side is the carpeted stairs up to the first floor. The galley kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base and drawer units with composite work surfaces and part-tiled walls above. A single drainer stainless steel sink with mixer tap sits beneath the window while built-in appliances include an electric oven, a gas hob and an extractor hood above, and there is space for a tall fridge/freezer, while a part-glazed door leads out into the garden. From the dining room is the original turned and carpeted staircase that leads to the long first-floor landing, opening into two double bedrooms, both with wood floors, and the family bathroom. The elegant principal bedroom overlooks the front of the property and the second bedroom benefits from a walk-in cupboard. The part-tiled family bathroom has a white suite comprising a low-level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin, a panelled bath with shower attachment and shower rail, an airing cupboard with louvre doors and a radiator with a fitted towel rail and shelving above. To the front of the property is a low brick wall with a step onto the paved path, and an easy-to-maintain garden to the right, ideal for potted plants. At the rear, the garden is bordered by wood fence panels and a brick wall. There is a paved side path leading to a terrace with space for a table and chairs, while two brick-built garden sheds provide you with lots of outdoor storage space. This delightful mid-terrace property sits in the highly sought-after residential area of Clarendon Park, about a mile south of Leicester city centre, with the Leicestershire Tennis & Squash Club on one side and the Saffron Lane Athletics Stadium on the other, and nearby to Victoria Park. It is a short walk to a wide variety of local convenience shopping, such as the Co-Op, while Queens Road with its superb range of trendy restaurants and bars is also a short distance. Leicester city centre provides a wider choice of shopping outlets, boutiques, cafes, as well as a broad selection of eateries and shopping opportunities. The mainline rail station, which provides services to London St Pancras in around an hour, is nearby as is Leicester Royal Infirmary, an excellent choice of private and state schools, plus Leicester and De Montfort universities.
