Nestled on coveted Scraptoft Lane, this 1940s semi-detached home combines period character with practical family living. Two reception rooms and three bedrooms provide flexible space for daily life, while original Tudor-style rendering gives immediate kerb appeal.
Set on a large plot with an extensive rear garden and private driveway, the property offers clear scope to extend at the rear (subject to planning). The kitchen area is ready for refitting, so buyers can tailor a contemporary kitchen-diner to modern family needs. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — useful for remote working and streaming.
Practical points are straightforward: the house has one bathroom and is average in overall size at about 1,040 sq ft, so those wanting more modern layouts may plan internal reconfiguration. Built in 1940, some updating and maintenance should be expected if you want a fully modern finish. There are strong local schools nearby and very low local crime, making this a sensible choice for families seeking space and long-term potential.
For buyers who value character, outdoor space and extension potential, this home is a rare find on Scraptoft Lane. Investors or renovators will also spot the refurbishment upside; those seeking a turnkey modern property should factor in renovation and a kitchen refit.
