Summary - 123 SHANKLIN DRIVE LEICESTER LE2 3QF
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Large garden, parking and extension potential for growing families.
Three bedroom 1930s semi‑detached with period features and high ceilings
Set on a larger-than-average plot in South Knighton, this 1930s semi‑detached home offers classic period appeal and clear scope to create a contemporary family layout. The property has bay windows, high ceilings in principal rooms and a mature rear garden — features that respond well to sympathetic updating. There is planning scope to extend to the side and rear, subject to permissions, which could significantly increase living space and resale value.
The ground floor provides two reception rooms, a garden room/third reception, kitchen, lobby and a ground‑floor shower room. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC. Practical assets include gas central heating, majority double glazing and a rear garage plus driveway parking to the front and side.
The house requires modernisation throughout and has an EPC rating of D; buyers should expect cosmetic and some functional updating to improve energy performance and interiors. For those seeking a project, the property’s generous plot, period footprint and convenient location close to good schools, amenities and transport links make it a strong candidate for a tasteful renovation or modest extension.
This home will suit families looking to personalise a long-term residence or investors targeting value uplift through refurbishment. Low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add everyday convenience.
