Summary - 205 WIGSTON ROAD OADBY LEICESTER LE2 5JF
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large plot with planning upside for families seeking space and potential.
Chain free five-bedroom detached period house
Set on a very large plot in sought-after Oadby, this detached Tudor Revival house offers substantial family living with scope to adapt. The current layout provides five bedrooms, generous reception rooms, and a conservatory that opens straight onto extensive gardens — ideal for children, pets and outdoor entertaining. The property is chain-free and benefits from a horseshoe in-and-out driveway plus abundant off-road parking and a remote-controlled double garage.
A clear value driver is the planning history: an earlier approved application nearly doubled the floorplan, so there is realistic potential for a major extension or redevelopment (subject to current planning). Internally the home combines character features — stained-glass windows, two period fireplaces and a turret-style sitting area — with practical modern comforts such as double glazing, gas central heating and air-conditioning in several rooms.
Buyers should note the house dates from the 1930s–1940s and has solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation; upgrading thermal performance and modernising some rooms will likely be needed. There are two shower rooms serving five bedrooms, and council tax is described as expensive. Those planning a large extension should confirm current planning requirements and any costs tied to renovation.
For families seeking space and future growth, this property presents a rare combination of established character, large outdoor grounds and demonstrated planning potential. It suits buyers looking to modernise and expand, or investors seeking a substantial detached home in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with excellent schools and local amenities.
