This two-bedroom semi-detached home on Stonehaven Road is a practical, entry-level property for first-time buyers or investors seeking straightforward living in Rushey Mead. The house has been extended to the rear, offers off-street parking for two cars and a low-maintenance south-facing garden—features that suit everyday family life and make move-in easy.
Inside, rooms are a comfortable, average size with laminate or carpeted floors, a modern-feeling lounge and an extended reception room with patio doors to the garden. The property benefits from double glazing, a gas boiler with radiators and a smart thermostat, helping keep running costs manageable. The loft hatch provides useful extra storage and the kitchen is serviceable with space for major appliances.
There is clear potential to increase living space: the vendor notes scope for a two-storey side extension (subject to planning), which would suit buyers wanting to add value. Practical points to note are the small plot size and assumed lack of cavity wall insulation (property originally cavity-wall, no retrofit insulation recorded), which could affect future heating costs and upgrade plans.
Location-wise the house sits in a residential part of Leicester close to schools, shops and good broadband. The wider area has pockets of deprivation and average local crime levels, so buyers should visit at different times to assess neighbourhood feel. Tenure is freehold, EPC C and Council Tax Band B, which keep ongoing charges relatively low.
