Set on West Street in Blaby, this extended 1930s detached family home offers a straightforward layout and useful extra space. Ground floor accommodation includes a through lounge, sun lounge and breakfast kitchen, while upstairs provides four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate shower room—ideal for busy households. A large garage, block-paved side parking and enclosed rear garden add practical outdoor and storage space. The property is sold freehold and with no upward chain, enabling a quicker move.
The house has double glazing and gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. Energy rating C is a positive for its age, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home-working or streaming. The location is convenient for local shops, leisure facilities and major routes (M1/M69), and several nearby primary and secondary schools make it suitable for families.
Buyers should note this is a solid-brick 1930s build with assumed no cavity insulation in the walls and double glazing installed before 2002. The interior shows mid-20th-century fixtures (stone fireplace, standard ceilings) and will benefit from updating in parts. Council Tax Band E and above-average local crime are factual considerations for budgeting and family choice. Viewing is recommended to assess the balance of space, position and any refurbishment required.
This home will suit families seeking generous room proportions and outdoor space, or buyers looking for a period property to modernise while retaining character. The combination of garage, parking and no chain creates clear practical advantages; however, allow for potential improvement costs to bring finishes and insulation up to modern standards.
